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.

An antique silver and enamel watch case is a protective or decorative hinged enclosure crafted from sterling silver and finished with vitreous enamel, designed to hold or protect a pocket watch or fob watch during the late 19th to early 20th century.

These cases were typically formed from sterling silver sheet metal, with vitreous enamel applied to etched or recessed areas before being kiln-fired and polished to create a flush, geometric finish.

Authentic pieces generally feature silver hallmarks indicating purity and maker, distinct signs of hand-applied vitreous enamel, period-accurate catch mechanisms, and subtle age-related surface wear rather than modern cast seams.

These small decorative objects can be styled on a vanity tray, curated inside a glass display case, or arranged alongside horological collectables on a desk shelf.

Clean silver areas gently using a soft microfibre cloth intended for precious metals, avoiding harsh chemicals or liquid silver dips that could damage or discolour the surrounding enamel inlay.
