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.

A Georgian swivel fob pendant is a decorative accessory originally attached to a pocket watch chain, featuring a rotating gemstone set within a metal frame. Popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries, these pieces were used as personal wax seals or decorative ornaments.

Georgian fobs were commonly constructed from gold, pinched gold, or gilt base metals, often set with carved or cabochon hardstones such as carnelian, agate, bloodstone, and amethyst.

Authentic Georgian fobs usually display hand-chased metalwork, closed-back or swivel gemstone settings, and evidence of historical wear on the suspension loops. The craftsmanship often features hand-finished Rococo scrollwork or classical motifs rather than modern machine stamping.

An antique fob can be worn as a statement pendant on a modern gold chain, added to a heavy link charm bracelet, or suspended alongside other antique charms on a swivel ring.

Clean gilt metal and carnelian fobs gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without harsh liquid cleaners, as moisture can compromise the gilt finish or internal swivel pins. Store the piece in a dry, padded jewellery box away from friction.
