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.
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.
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.

A toastmaster glass is a specialised 18th or 19th-century drinking vessel crafted with an exceptionally thick interior base inside the bowl to create the illusion of a full measure while holding a minimal volume of liquid, allowing the host to remain sober while responding to every toast.

During the late Georgian and Regency periods, stemware was hand-blown from lead glass, featuring hand-cut fluting, tool-shaped knopped stems, and hand-finished circular foot bases.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand production, such as slight weight asymmetry, tiny air bubbles trapped within the glass matrix, micro-abrasions on the underside of the base, and a reduced bowl volume relative to exterior dimensions.

Historical glassware can be arranged in small groupings inside illuminated display cabinets, positioned on a brass tray upon a sideboard, or styled on a dining room bar cart alongside contemporary decanters.

Hand wash antique glass individually in tepid water using mild liquid soap, avoiding dishwashers, sudden temperature shifts, and abrasive cloths that could cause surface scratches or thermal cracking.
