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.

Balustroid wine glasses, produced primarily in mid-18th-century Britain, feature stems inspired by classical architectural balusters with reduced glass weight compared to earlier heavy baluster styles.

English glassware of this era was predominantly crafted from lead crystal glass, created using lead oxide, silica, and potash, resulting in heavy, resonant stemware.

Authentic period glasses typically feature a rough pontil mark under the foot, minor air bubbles within the hand-blown glass, a greyish cast, and base wear consistent with age.

Antique stemware can be displayed in illuminated glass cabinets, arranged on dining sideboards, or styled on trays within open shelving to catch natural light.

Antique lead glass should be hand-washed individually in tepid water with mild liquid detergent, avoiding high water temperatures and dishwashers to prevent clouding or thermal shock.
