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

Art Nouveau jewellery emerged in France during the late nineteenth century, characterised by organic curves, nature-inspired themes, and mythical iconography.

Jewellers during this era frequently utilised 18ct yellow gold, enamelling, and faceted gemstones such as rubies and sapphires to highlight decorative details.

Authentic pieces usually feature official French hallmark stamps, such as the eagles head mark for 18ct gold, alongside fluid hand-sculpted relief details.

Small antique pendants and charms can be framed within custom velvet-lined shadow boxes or displayed under miniature glass cloches alongside curated collectibles.

Clean gold jewellery gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemicals that may loosen gemstone settings.
