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

Art Deco wristwatches from the 1920s and 1930s are characterised by geometric case shapes, stylised numerals, symmetrical dial layouts, and a streamlined aesthetic influenced by modern industrial design.

High-end watches from this period were typically constructed using solid precious metals such as 9ct or 18ct gold, platinum, or stainless steel, paired with genuine leather straps and acrylic or mineral crystals.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmark stamps on the inside of the case back, checking the mechanical movement calibre against historical maker records, and assessing the aging patterns on the dial.

A vintage dress watch adds understated elegance to modern formalwear, pairing exceptionally well with tailored suits or serving as a refined statement piece against minimalist everyday attire.

Mechanical watches require regular professional servicing every three to five years, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding to maintain the internal gear system.
