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.

Originating in the late 19th century, Arts and Crafts jewellery rejected industrial mass production in favour of hand-crafted techniques. Designs prominently feature organic, nature-inspired forms, hand-set cabochon stones, and intricate wirework or articulated links.

Jewellery from this period frequently utilised 15ct or 18ct gold alongside natural gemstones such as turquoise, pearls, garnets, and amethysts. Cabochon cuts were favoured over faceted cuts to highlight the natural colour and translucency of the stones.

Authentic Murrle Bennett pieces are typically stamped with the makers mark M&B alongside gold purity marks such as 15CT or 9CT. Their work is defined by distinct Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts stylings, including wire cage settings and geometric-organic link structures.

Antique jewellery can be integrated into interior decor by displaying it on velvet-lined trinket trays, mounted inside shadow boxes, or draped over ceramic ring dishes on a dressing table or vanity.

Turquoise and pearls are porous materials vulnerable to chemicals, perfumes, and moisture. Clean the metal gently using a soft dry cloth, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners or liquid chemicals that can discolour organic gemstones.
