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 roemer (or romer) is a traditional European wine drinking vessel originating in Northern Europe, characterised by a curved bowl, a hollow stem often decorated with raised prunts, and a trailed flared foot.

Pieces from this era were hand-blown using potash or soda glass formulations, with hand-applied glass prunts melted onto the stem and spun glass threads forming the stepped foot structure.

Authentic pieces feature a snapped or ground pontil mark underneath the foot, minor variations in glass thickness, tiny air bubbles or seeds trapped within the glass, and hand-tooled symmetry rather than precise machine molding.

Coloured glassware displays effectively on a sideboard top or inside a illuminated glass cabinet, where natural or soft interior lighting highlights the distinct glass shades.

Hand-blown glass requires gentle hand washing in lukewarm water with mild liquid soap. Hot water, dishwashers, and abrasive materials must be avoided to prevent thermal shock and scratching.
