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

Originating in the Georgian and Victorian eras, long guard chains, often called muff chains, were functional accessories worn around the neck to hold pocket watches, lorgnettes, or seals securely via a swivel dog clip.

These chains were primarily handcrafted from sterling silver, gold, or rolled gold, utilising hand-formed links such as belcher, cable, or curb styles joined together to form lengths often exceeding fifty inches.

Authentic pieces frequently display hallmark stamps on individual links or the dog clip, show subtle surface wear from age, and feature functional swivel clasps rather than modern spring rings.

While primarily worn as multi-layered necklaces, these long chains can be styled decoratively within glass dome displays, framed shadow boxes, or arranged over antique jewel caskets as tactile decorative elements.

Store silver chains flat in air-tight cloth pouches to minimise oxidisation, avoiding chemical dips, and clean gently with a soft microfibre polishing cloth to maintain natural patina.
