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

Art Deco jewellery emerged during the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by geometric precision, stylised motifs, and a strong emphasis on clean lines and symmetry.

These pieces typically feature precious metals such as platinum, yellow gold, and white gold, combined with natural, untreated gemstones and occasionally accented with small diamonds.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks, construction techniques specific to the period such as hand-fabrication and specific prong settings, and verifying gemstone characteristics through professional gemmological testing.

Vintage pieces add character and distinct colour to modern wardrobes, working well as standalone statement items or layered subtly with minimalist contemporary accessories.

Protect delicate stones from harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners by using warm soapy water and a soft brush, and store individual pieces separately in lined boxes to prevent scratching.
