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.

Late Victorian lockets often featured symbolic motifs, hand-engraved foliate or geometric borders, and embellishments such as enamel work, seed pearls, or gemstones.

These pieces were typically constructed from yellow gold (ranging from 9ct to 18ct) or gold front-and-back shell, combined with glass enamel and natural split seed pearls.

Authentic Victorian lockets usually display hand-carved engraving, period-appropriate hinge mechanisms, antique seed pearl settings, and occasionally British hallmarks or makers marks inside the rim.

Small antique jewellery items like lockets can be displayed on velvet cushions inside a glass cloche, mounted in a shadow box frame, or rested on a vintage ceramic trinket tray.

Clean gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemical jewellers dips, as moisture can damage the enamel and internal photograph compartments.
