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 sulphide, or cameo incrustation, is a ceramic cameo or medallion embedded within a glass object, a technique developed in early 19th-century France and Britain.

Glassmakers crafted these items from heavy lead crystal, hand-cutting diamond or slice facets and carefully enclosing a heat-resistant ceramic cameo within the molten glass structure.

Authentic pieces feature high-density lead crystal with sharp hand-cut diamond patterns, precise internal encapsulation without major air pocketing around the ceramic cameo, and appropriate age wear to the base.

Place the bottle on a dressing table tray, a bathroom counter, or a styled bookshelf where natural light can illuminate the internal cameo portrait and cut facets.

Clean the exterior gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or submerging stopper joints that could trap moisture inside.
