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 guard chain, also known as a muff chain, is an extended necklace traditionally worn during the Victorian and Edwardian eras to secure pocket watches, lorgnettes, or hand muffs.

These pieces were primarily crafted from solid sterling silver, pinchbeck, or gold, using hand-assembled belcher, curb, or fancy link construction attached to a swivel dog clip clasp.

Authentic period examples feature maker marks or silver hallmarks on the dog clip or terminal links, natural age-related patina, and original swivel fastenings engineered to prevent tangling.

An extended chain can be doubled or tripled around the neck as a layered piece, or styled by attaching contemporary pendants, charms, and lockets to the original dog clip.

Maintain silver pieces by wiping gently with a microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding chemical dips that remove historic surface oxidisation, and storing flat inside a lined box.
