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

Developed in the early 20th century under designer Daisy Makeig-Jones, Wedgwood lustreware features iridescent glazes, rich mottled grounds, and intricate gilded motifs such as butterflies and fairies.

These decorative items are crafted from fine bone china or porcelain, coated with specialized metallic oxide glazes fired at high temperatures to achieve a shimmering effect, and embellished with gold gilding.

Authentic pieces generally feature the printed or impressed Wedgwood Portland Vase trademark on the base, specific pattern numbers prefixed with the letter Z, precise gilding details, and a distinct depth of glaze.

Place the footed bowl on a sideboard, glass display cabinet, or mantelpiece where ambient light can accentuate the iridescent interior finish, creating an understated focal point within contemporary rooms.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid immersion in water or the use of chemical detergents and abrasive sponges, which can wear away delicate overglaze gilding and metallic glazes.
