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

Historically crafted to secure pocket watches to waistcoats or jackets, antique watch chains featured decorative metalwork links, T-bars, and swivel clasps. In modern wear, these heavy silver chains are frequently worn directly as statement collar necklaces.

Continental watch chains were primarily constructed from sterling silver or higher-grade silver alloys, often featuring die-struck, hand-engraved, or scalloped links. Hardware typically included spring-loaded swivel clasps, jump rings, and bolt ring fasteners.

Authentic pieces display historical silver hallmarks, maker marks, or purity stamps, often located on individual links, clasps, or end rings. They also exhibit characteristic signs of period craftsmanship, including hand-finished link joins and light surface patination.

An antique silver chain can be worn as a standalone neck chain, layered alongside finer silver chains, or fitted with antique pendants and wax seals attached to the original bolt ring clasp.

Gently polish the silver with a clean microfibre cloth or silver polishing cloth to remove oxidisation without abrading delicate link textures. Avoid harsh chemical dips that can strip intentional historical patination from recessed areas.
