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

Originating in the Palais Royal shopping arcades of 19th-century Paris, these items were crafted as luxury souvenirs and vanity accessories, incorporating clear or coloured glass mounted in detailed ormolu or gilt-bronze frames.

These decorative objects feature hand-blown or cut glass paired with ormolu, which is mercury-gilded bronze or brass. The metalwork includes filigree detailing, classical motifs, and custom hinged fittings tailored to the glass shape.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy gilding showing natural surface wear, precise metal mounting without modern soldering, and period-appropriate hinges. The glass frequently demonstrates period hand-blown characteristics, such as subtle asymmetry or minor air bubbles.

Display the object on a dressing table, mantelpiece, or open bookshelf as a decorative accent. Transparent glass and reflective metal gilding pair effectively with marble surfaces, dark timber, or modern vanity displays.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth or a soft bristle brush. Avoid chemical cleaners and water immersion, as moisture can compromise gilded surfaces and induce oxidisation on underlying metal framework.
