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.

During the late Victorian period, celestial motifs such as stars, crescents, and comets gained widespread popularity, symbolising guidance, direction, and eternal affection.

Victorian jewellers regularly set diamonds into silver mounted on a gold backing, ensuring the diamonds retained a white colour presentation while preventing tarnish from transferring to clothing.

Authentic pieces from circa 1880 feature hand-cut stones, such as old mine or old European cut diamonds, set in silver-upon-gold with original hand-crafted fittings or detachable brooch mechanisms.

This type of convertible piece can be suspended from a fine chain as a focal pendant or secured onto a blazer lapel, coat, or high-collar blouse as a brooch.

Wipe gently with a soft microfibre cloth to remove dirt, avoid immersion in harsh chemical solutions, and store separately in a velvet-lined box to prevent abrasion.
