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.

Opaline glass is a semi-translucent or opaque decorative glass produced during the nineteenth century, often fashioned into vanity items such as scent bottles featuring precious metal tops.

These items feature moulded or hand-blown opaline glass bodies fitted with sterling silver collars and embossed caps, designed with screw or hinged closures to store liquid perfume.

Authentic pieces frequently display silver hallmarks or makers marks near the collar, hand-chased ornamentation, pontil marks on the glass base, and naturally occurring oxidisation around metal seams.

Display the item on a dressing table tray, a marble bathroom counter, or within a glass collectors cabinet to add historical detail and material contrast.

Clean the glass body using a damp microfiber cloth without liquid chemical cleaners, and wipe the silver components with a dedicated silver polishing cloth to control tarnish.
