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

A Victorian fob seal is an ornamental accessory originally designed to hang from a gentlemans pocket watch chain, incorporating a flat carved or uncarved gemstone base used to apply impressions into wax seals on correspondence.

Victorian fob seals were typically crafted using gold, pinchbeck, or silver, combined with hardstones such as carnelian, bloodstone, onyx, agate, or amethyst.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-chased scrollwork, repousse detailing, natural gemstone inserts, historical hallmarks, and age-consistent wear around the suspension loops and stone settings.

Modern wearers frequently style antique fob seals as statement pendant charms on contemporary neckchains, charm bracelets, or layered alongside other antique gold pendants.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft-bristled brush, ensuring the piece is thoroughly dried with a microfibre cloth without submerging unsealed stone settings in liquid.
