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

Royal presentation badges were official heraldic insignia bestowed by monarchs or state institutions during the 19th century to recognise service, military merit, or official appointments. These objects frequently featured intricate monograms, cyphers, and royal crowns.

Badges were typically crafted from cast or stamped metals, including silver, brass, or silver-plated alloy, mounted onto velvet or silk backings. They were traditionally enclosed within turned dark wood, mahogany, or gilded oval frames to protect the delicate metalwork.

Authentic pieces display detailed metal relief work, correct historical cyphers matching specific reigning monarchs, and period-appropriate mounting techniques. The frame and backing usually show natural age-related oxidisation, subtle wear, and hand-finished woodworking details.

Position the framed item as part of a curated gallery wall alongside historical portraiture, architectural prints, or heraldic studies. It also functions well when hung individually in a study, library, or hallway to add visual depth and narrative structure.

Keep the framed object in a dry environment away from high humidity and direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading and frame warping. Lightly dust the outer wooden frame with a soft cloth while avoiding chemical polishes on the internal metal elements.
