Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Historically, a gold fob was attached to a pocket watch chain to assist in pulling the watch from a waistcoat pocket. Many fobs also featured carved gemstones or metal bases used as personal seals to press initials or crests into warm sealing wax.

Victorian fobs were typically crafted from yellow or rose gold ranging from 9ct to 18ct, as well as gold cased or rolled gold metals. Bases frequently incorporated hardstones such as carnelian, bloodstone, onyx, or amethyst.

Authentic period fobs often exhibit hand-chased foliage or repousse metalwork, historical hallmarks on the loop or mount, and evidence of light wear around the suspension point consistent with regular use.

Clean the metal surfaces gently using a soft, lint-free cloth designed for gold polish. Avoid submerging the item in liquid or using harsh chemical cleaners, particularly if gemstone or paste settings are present.

An antique gold fob can be suspended from a modern gold chain as a focal pendant, attached to a charm bracelet, or styled on an Albert swivel clasp alongside other period charms.
