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

Deception glasses feature thick solid glass bases and inner bowl walls, making them appear full while holding a significantly reduced volume of liquid. Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, they enabled hosts to participate in numerous ceremonial toasts throughout an evening without consuming excessive alcohol.

Victorian deception stemware was crafted from heavy lead crystal or flint glass, which provided high clarity and optical refraction. The thick proportions required for the optical illusion were frequently finished with facet cutting, flute cuts, or panel cuts around the bowl.

Authentic 19th-century stemware typically exhibits subtle hand-crafting variations, a ground pontil mark on the underside of the foot, and slight natural inclusions within the heavy lead glass. Base rims generally display soft, uneven wear patterns consistent with historical usage.

Displaying a pair of these stemware pieces on a tray atop a drinks cabinet or inside an illuminated glazed cabinet highlights the facet-cut detailing. They can also be integrated alongside contemporary decanters to add historical interest to a bar setup.

Wash stemware individually by hand in lukewarm water using a mild soap, avoiding automatic dishwashers which cause clouding and thermal shock. Dry immediately with a soft microfibre cloth to prevent water spots and preserve clarity.
