Archival Detail
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.

A bumper automatic watch utilises an early form of self-winding movement where an oscillating weight rotates back and forth in a limited arc, hitting spring-loaded bumpers to wind the mainspring.

Gold-filled watch cases consist of a mechanical bonding of a solid gold layer to a base metal core, providing durable wear resistance superior to standard gold plating.

Authentic pieces feature specific movement calibre engravings, maker hallmarks on the interior case back, crisp dial typography, and period-correct hands and indices.

A vintage gold dress watch functions as a subtle accent piece paired with tailored formal wear or elevated smart-casual outfits, complementing leather accessories.

Vintage timepieces should be kept away from water, moisture, and high magnetic fields, and require periodic servicing by a professional watchmaker every three to five years.
