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 mid-century Italian enamel compact is a portable vanity accessory crafted from solid silver, frequently hallmarked 800, featuring decorative hand-painted enamel tops and intricate metal engraving executed by skilled Florentine or Italian silversmiths.

These items were predominantly constructed from high-purity silver, often gold-plated or vermeil finished, featuring hand-applied enamel artwork using guilloche or champleve techniques alongside engine-turned engraving.

Authentic items feature stamped purity marks such as 800 alongside Italian maker codes or hallmarks, precise engine-turned engraving, and smooth, high-fired vitreous enamel detailing without modern acrylic resin fills.

Small vanity collectables are often displayed open or closed on decorative trays, brass stands, or placed inside glass-topped display tables alongside curated trinkets and antique silver pieces.

Clean silver surfaces gently using a soft polishing cloth while avoiding harsh liquid cleaners that could penetrate micro-fissures in the vitreous enamel or strip original gilding and patination.
