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

Back and front lockets feature solid gold front and back plates mounted over internal base-metal structural rims. This construction technique was widely used during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods to provide durability while presenting precious gold exteriors.

These lockets typically combine 9ct gold plates with steel-lathe engraved patterns, often referred to as engine-turning. The internal compartments usually feature metal retaining rings and transparent protective inserts designed to secure photographs.

Authentic pieces frequently bear stamps such as 9ct BK & FT or British hallmarks near the rim or suspension loop. Era-appropriate engine-turned patterns display precise geometric etching accompanied by authentic surface wear and minor age patina.

Antique lockets are regularly worn as central pendants on fine gold trace chains or layered alongside modern minimalist necklaces. The classic circular proportions suit both tailored everyday attire and formal evening wear.

Wipe the exterior surface gently using a dry microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners that could penetrate internal photograph compartments. Store the piece inside a fabric-lined jewellery box away from excess moisture.
