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.

The Thistle pattern was originally created by the Saint-Louis glassworks in 1913 for the Nancy International Exhibition. Inspired by the Art Nouveau movement and the emblem of Lorraine, the design features delicate floral cut motifs combined with hand-applied gold gilding.

High-grade lead crystal is hand-blown and shaped by master glassmakers before undergoing acid etching and diamond-wheel cutting. Fine 24-carat gold paint is then meticulously hand-applied to the rims, stems, and bases before undergoing a second firing process to fuse the gold to the glass.

Authentic pieces produced after 1936 typically bear an etched Saint-Louis round acid stamp on the base. Pre-1936 pieces may retain paper labels or display precise wheel-cut details and distinct heavy crystal clarity characteristic of the manufacturer.

Gilded stemware adds warmth and historical texture to modern home bars and dining spaces. Displaying these items on open shelving, mirrored trays, or inside glass cabinet displays allows light to refract through the crystal cutwork.

Hand wash stemware individually in warm water using a mild liquid soap and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid dishwashers and harsh detergents, as heat and friction cause gold leaf detailing to degrade over time.
