Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

French religious medals gained widespread popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries, created by prominent sculptors and engravers such as Edmond Becker. These pieces were often commissioned as devotional tokens to mark sacraments or express personal faith, combining classical relief carving with fine metallurgy.

Devotional pendants from this period were commonly crafted using 18ct or 14ct yellow gold, silver, and organic materials such as mother-of-pearl or carved shell. The combination of iridescent nacre inlays set within textured gold borders created contrast and highlighted the relief profile.

Authentic pieces by Edmond Becker typically feature his incised signature BECKER along the lower edge or background of the design. Additionally, French gold items carry specific official hallmarks, such as the eagles head for 18ct gold, stamped on the suspension loop or rim.

A classic medal can be suspended from a simple gold chain as a focal piece or layered alongside complementary delicate pendants and chains. Its neutral tones and textured gold surround allow it to blend easily with mixed metal or minimalist attire.

Clean the gold components gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Because mother-of-pearl is an organic material sensitive to harsh chemicals and excessive moisture, avoid submerging the piece in liquids, exposing it to perfumes, or using ultrasonic cleaners.
