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

Manufactured in England during the mid-to-late 18th century, these glasses feature intricate white enamel spirals encased within a solid glass stem. The double series pattern combines two distinct spiral components, such as a central core surrounded by outer spiral threads.

Glassmakers arranged rods of white opaque enamel inside a cylindrical mould, filled the remaining space with molten lead glass, and subsequently drew out and twisted the heated gather to produce internal helical patterns before attaching the bowl and foot.

Authentic examples typically display a pontil scar or polished pontil mark on a conical foot, minor hand-blowing imperfections like striations or air bubbles, and a subtle greyish tint inherent to historical lead glass formulas.

Individual stems or small groupings placed on a dining room sideboard, inside a glass display cabinet, or on a bar cart introduce historical texture and craftsmanship to contemporary settings.

Hand wash individual items using lukewarm water with a mild detergent, avoid dishwashers completely, and dry immediately using a soft lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and protect delicate stems.
