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

A long guard chain, also known as a muff chain, is an extended necklace popular during the Georgian and Victorian eras, originally worn to secure pocket watches, lorgnettes, or muff hand warmers.

Victorian guard chains were typically constructed from 9ct, 15ct, or 18ct yellow gold, pinched collar gold, or sterling silver, often featuring hand-assembled belcher, rolo, or fetter link patterns.

Authentic Victorian pieces often feature hallmarks stamped on tiny applied tags or individual links, along with period-appropriate swivel clasps, dog clips, or bolt rings rather than modern lobster clasps.

A long guard chain can be wrapped multiple times around the neck as a layered necklace, worn as a single long strand, or styled with antique charms, lockets, and fobs attached to the swivel clasp.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush, ensuring thorough drying with a microfibre cloth to avoid strain on aged links.
