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

During the nineteenth century, horseshoes represented protection and good fortune, whilst compasses symbolised guidance, direction, and safe passage. Combining both motifs created a meaningful charm, frequently gifted to individuals undertaking long journeys or new endeavours.

These pendants were typically crafted from 9ct, 10ct, or 15ct yellow gold to provide durability for everyday wear. The central compass mechanism features a glass lens protecting a magnetic steel needle set over a cardinal direction dial.

Authentic period examples feature hallmarks, carat stamps, or makers marks on the rim or suspension loop. The glass display often shows light age-consistent wear, and the internal compass needle should rotate freely when held horizontally.

An antique charm can be suspended from a fine gold chain as a singular focal necklace or added to a heavy watch chain or charm bracelet. It also functions well layered alongside other period gold pendants.

Gold surfaces should be polished gently with a soft, lint-free jewellery cloth. The piece must never be submerged in water or liquid cleaners, as moisture can penetrate the bezel and damage the internal compass needle or dial.
