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.

Brooches from the late Victorian and Edwardian eras frequently feature intricate metal scrollwork, openwork framing, and cluster gemstone settings. Popular designs utilised 15ct gold and incorporated natural gemstones such as opals, diamonds, and pearls in symmetrical, nature-inspired configurations.

Fine jewellery from this era was commonly crafted in 15ct or 18ct yellow gold, which provided a durable base for gemstone setting. Cabinet-cut cabochon opals, seed pearls, and old-cut diamonds were frequently set into bezel or claw mountings.

Authentic pieces often feature British hallmarks indicating gold purity, such as 15 or .625, a standard used in the United Kingdom between 1854 and 1932. Additionally, fitted velvet or silk-lined presentation boxes bearing historical retailer marks offer context on origin and age.

When not being worn, small fine jewellery pieces can be styled within framed shadow boxes, displayed on velvet jewellery trays, or arranged under glass cloches on a dressing table.

Opals are delicate, porous gemstones that require careful handling; avoid contact with water, direct heat, household chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners. Clean the gold gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth and store the piece in a fabric-lined box away from direct light.
