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

Victorian glass domes were created to protect delicate items, such as taxidermy specimens, clockwork movements, wax floral arrangements, and pocket watches, from dust, moisture, and soot in 19th-century homes.

Antique domes were hand-blown from glass, resulting in slight thickness variations and occasional air bubbles, and mounted on turned wooden bases often crafted from ebonised wood or mahogany.

Authentic Victorian glass display domes feature hand-blown glass with subtle imperfections, wave patterns, or seeds, alongside a thin rim and a hand-turned wooden base shaped specifically to fit the dome profile.

An antique glass dome works well on a sideboard or bookshelf to enclose botanical specimens, vintage curiosities, or architectural fragments, adding vertical interest and texture.

Clean the glass using a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with warm water and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive chemicals, while keeping the wooden base dry and treating it occasionally with beeswax polish.
