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.

Nineteenth-century glass tumblers are flat-bottomed drinking vessels constructed without stems or handles. Mid-Victorian examples frequently incorporate thick bases, heavy glass weight, and panelled or fluted mouldings around the lower body.

Glassmakers during this period predominantly used soda-lime glass or lead crystal, which were hand-blown, mould-blown, or press-moulded before being finished with hand-cut fluting or polished bases.

Authentic pieces usually display minor variations in thickness and diameter, small enclosed air bubbles, slight asymmetrical hand-finishing, and age-consistent wear or micro-scratches on the flat underside.

These pieces can be styled on a sideboard tray or bar cart alongside glass decanters, serving as functional barware or decorative accents within classic and modern settings.

Wash by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent with a soft cloth. Avoid dishwashers, abrasive pads, and extreme thermal shocks that could induce cracks or clouding in historic glass.
