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

French religious medals gained widespread popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly within the Art Nouveau movement. Celebrated medalists elevated devotional tokens into miniature works of art by combining religious iconography with naturalistic bas-relief sculpturing.

These medals were typically produced in 18 karat yellow gold using die-striking or casting techniques. Artisans carved intricate relief designs into master dies, allowing precise transfer of detailed motifs onto gold blanks.

Authentic French pieces feature official assay marks, such as the eagle head hallmark indicating 18 karat gold, alongside the makers signature or stamp. The presence of precise bas-relief detailing, genuine surface wear, and correct weight verification also confirms authenticity.

Antique gold medals can be displayed inside velvet-lined shadow boxes, placed under small glass cloches, or arranged in shallow trinket dishes on a dressing table. Mounting them in framed collection displays provides an elegant method of showcasing historic metalwork.

To preserve gold medals, wipe them gently with a soft lint-free cloth and warm water with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners. Store the piece individually in a padded jewellery box to prevent surface scratching and protect the relief detailing.
