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.
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.
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.

Scandinavian enamel jewellery produced in the mid-20th century incorporates guilloche techniques, where translucent enamel is fused over engine-turned sterling silver to create light-reflecting geometric patterns.

These brooches are typically constructed from 925 sterling silver, frequently gold-plated or vermeil finished, and decorated with baked vitreous enamel detailing.

Authentic Norwegian items feature makers marks alongside silver purity hallmarks such as 925S or STERLING stamped onto the reverse side of the metal base.

An enamel brooch can be secured to a coat lapel, fastened onto a silk scarf, pinned to a fabric handbag, or positioned on a tailored blazer collar for decorative accentuation.

Enamel items should be kept dry, cleaned gently with a soft dry cloth, and stored separately from other jewellery pieces to prevent surface chipping or tarnish.
