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

Sunburst and celestial motifs were widely favoured in 19th and early 20th-century French jewellery, representing warmth, life, and devotion. Lockets from this era were designed as personal sentiment pieces, frequently combined with floral motifs and gemstones to convey hidden symbolic meanings.

French fine jewellery of this period was predominantly crafted from high-karat gold, particularly 18ct yellow gold, combined with hand-cut precious gemstones such as emeralds, rubies, or diamonds. Techniques included hand-engraving, filigree wirework, and delicate claw or bezel setting.

Authentic French pieces typically bear official French state hallmarks, such as an eagles head mark for 18ct gold, stamped on the bale or rim. Look for hand-engraved details, characteristic hinge construction, and period-appropriate gemstone cuts rather than modern machine precision.

When not being worn, fine antique jewellery can be styled on dressing tables, placed within vintage velvet trinket dishes, or displayed under small glass cloches to serve as sophisticated decorative accents.

Emeralds are sensitive to thermal shock and harsh chemicals, so ultrasonic cleaners and harsh detergents must be avoided. Clean gently using a soft, damp microfibre cloth and store the piece separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent scratching.
