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

Popularised in the 1920s following the 1924 British Empire Exhibition, butterfly wing jewellery incorporates real iridescent Morpho butterfly wings set under glass or crystal, often decorated with reverse-painted silhouettes.

These pieces typically consist of iridescent Morpho butterfly wings set beneath clear glass, encased in sterling silver mounts with floral or geometric bail detailing.

Authentic pieces generally bear makers marks such as TLM or STERLING SILVER, feature natural iridescence that shifts in light, and show fine detailing in the reverse-painted tropical or landscape silhouettes.

A butterfly wing pendant can be suspended from a delicate sterling silver chain and layered with modern minimalist necklaces to add a focal point to contemporary tailored or casual outfits.

Protect the piece from moisture, perfume, and direct immersion in liquids, as water can seep beneath the glass setting and damage the organic butterfly wing; clean silver borders gently with a soft polishing cloth.
