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.

In Victorian sentimentality, ivy leaves symbolised fidelity, strong attachment, and eternal affection due to the plants clinging habit and evergreen nature.

Victorian lockets were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, gold, or pinchbeck, frequently decorated with hand engraving, enamel detailing, and internal glass rims designed to hold paper portraits or locks of hair.

Authentic British examples typically feature official assay hallmarks indicating silver purity, date letters, and maker marks, accompanied by hand-cut hinges, hand-engraved patterns, and age-appropriate surface oxidisation.

An antique silver locket can be suspended from a contemporary silver chain to layer with minimalist jewellery, worn against dark tailoring, or displayed on a velvet tray on a vanity table.

Silver lockets should be buffed gently using a dry microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or submersions that could seep into the hinge or damage photographs contained inside.
