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

Antique scent bottles are decorative vessels designed to contain fragrances or liquid scents, characterised by cut glass or crystal bodies fitted with precious metal mounts such as hallmarked sterling silver collars, hinged lids, or stoppers.

Early 20th-century scent bottles were typically constructed from heavy clear cut lead crystal, paired with hallmarked sterling silver mounts and occasionally inlaid with natural materials such as tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, or vitreous enamel.

Authentic pieces generally display British assay office hallmarks struck into the silver collar or lid rim, alongside hand-cut glass facets, precise silver hinge work, and fitted internal stoppers or caps.

An antique scent bottle can be positioned on a bathroom vanity tray, arranged alongside silver-topped dressing table accessories, or displayed atop a bedroom bedside table to introduce historic texture to the room.

Wipe the glass body with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild liquid soap, avoiding complete water immersion, and polish the sterling silver collar using a specialised silver polishing cloth to remove surface tarnish.
