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

Butterscotch Bakelite beads are early 20th-century fashion accessories made from formaldehyde and phenol synthetic resin, recognised by their opaque yellow and warm ochre tones.

Bakelite components were cast into solid rods or blocks, hand-turned or carved into individual beads, polished, and subsequently hand-strung onto cotton or silk threads.

Authentic Bakelite lacks mould seams, releases a faint chemical odor when exposed to warm water or friction, and exhibits a specific weight and density distinct from modern acrylics.

Strands of warm yellow Bakelite beads can be layered alongside modern fine gold chains or worn over plain knitwear as a bold sculptural focal point.

Wipe beads gently with a dry, soft cloth and store them away from prolonged sunlight, extreme heat, and moisture to prevent surface oxidisation.
