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.

Modernist jewellery from the 1960s frequently features organic, abstract forms, molten textures, and openwork metallic structures that depart from classical symmetry.

Designs often incorporate textured 18-carat yellow gold, contrasting white metals, and bezel-set gemstone cabochons such as turquoise, pearls, or sapphires.

Authentic pieces generally feature full British hallmarking, distinct makers marks, date letters, and distinctive cast or hand-worked molten metal finishes.

A statement abstract brooch can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored jacket, attached to a coat collar, or used to fasten a silk scarf.

Clean the metal gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding chemical contact with porous turquoise stones, and store the item in a soft fabric pouch.
