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

During the Georgian era in Britain, glassware was hand-blown and used extensively by apothecaries, physicians, and households to store liquid tinctures, chemical compounds, and spirits. High-status pieces featured hand-painted gold leaf decoration around the shoulders.

These vessels were crafted from hand-blown soda glass or early lead crystal, featuring ground glass stopper necks to form an airtight seal, and finished with hand-applied gilding.

Authentic period pieces display subtle variations in glass thickness, tiny seed bubbles from hand-blowing processes, ground glass stoppers that fit specific bottle necks, and natural rubbing wear to the gilded gilding.

Displaying glass bottles as a pair on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or open shelving creates visual structure. Combining clear glass objects with brass accents or dark woodwork enhances light filtration and architectural depth.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing, especially near the gilded shoulders. Wash interior surfaces carefully with lukewarm water and mild soap, keeping liquid away from exterior gold leaf.
