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

Celestial motifs became widely popular in jewellery during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, influenced by Queen Victorias interest in astronomy and symbolic jewellery design. Star brooches often featured central diamonds radiating outwards to represent guidance and affection.

Victorian diamond pieces were predominantly crafted with diamonds mounted in silver settings with yellow gold backings, as white gold had not yet been developed and platinum techniques were not yet widespread.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-faceted old cut diamonds, silver-topped gold metalwork, closed or collet settings, and nineteenth-century pin mechanisms such as long C-clasps.

A Victorian star brooch can be attached to jacket lapels, velvet chokers, silk scarves, or worn in groupings on coat collars to integrate nineteenth-century craftsmanship into contemporary wardrobes.

Clean gently using a soft-bristled brush with warm soapy water, avoiding chemical dips that could strip historical tarnish or damage silver-topped gold settings.
