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

Named after Prince Albert, who popularized the style in the 19th century, an Albert chain was originally designed to secure a pocket watch to a gentlemans waistcoat buttonhole via a central T-bar.

These chains were crafted from solid 15-carat yellow gold, a British gold purity standard used between 1854 and 1932, known for its warm tone and durability.

Authentic British pieces feature distinct punch marks indicating the gold fineness standard (such as 15 or .625), the assay office symbol like the Birmingham anchor, and a specific date letter code.

While originally a watch accessory, shorter Albert chains are frequently worn today as choker-length statement necklaces or layered alongside modern pendant chains.

Wash gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth and store away from abrasive metals to avoid surface scratching.
