Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

An intaglio fob pendant features a gemstone or glass seal deeply carved with a sunken design or figure, historically used to press impressions into warm sealing wax on letters and official documents during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These pieces were typically carved from durable hardstones such as carnelian, chalcedony, onyx, or jasper, and mounted into yellow gold, pinchbeck, or sterling silver mounts decorated with chased or gadrooned detailing.

Authentic antique intaglios exhibit hand-carved details showing subtle tool variations, natural internal inclusions within the carnelian gem, and period-accurate mounting construction such as hand-formed bezels and closed-back settings.

Intaglio fobs are frequently worn suspended from gold neck chains, attached to modern charm bracelets, or styled alongside modern neckware in layered jewellery arrangements.

Clean carnelian intaglios using a soft microfibre cloth and lukewarm soapy water with a gentle brush, ensuring to avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or extreme thermal shocks that could fracture the stone or damage gold solder.
