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.

Paste jewellery refers to hand-cut, high-lead content glass developed in the 18th century to simulate precious gemstones. During the Georgian era, artisans crafted paste with precision cuts and foil backings to create brilliant light refraction comparable to diamonds and colored emeralds.

Georgian riviere necklaces were typically crafted with continuous rows of individual collet settings, each housing a gemstone or paste stone. These settings featured closed backs with metal foil behind the stones to enhance color depth and luminosity.

Authentic Georgian paste pieces generally feature closed-back settings, evidence of hand-carved or irregular paste cuts, pinched-collet mountings, and metallic foil linings visible under magnification. Oxidation or dark spots where water has touched the foil backing also indicate historic age.

Antique jewellery sets can be mounted inside velvet-lined shadow boxes or displayed under glass cloches on dressing tables as decorative art. Placing historic suites on linen-covered bust stands integrates texture and historical interest into contemporary interior spaces.

Foil-backed paste jewellery must never be submerged in water or liquid cleaners, as moisture destroys the delicate underlying metal foil. Wipe the surfaces gently with a dry microfibre cloth and store the pieces in a dry environment inside moisture-absorbent pouches.
