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 a long continuous chain popular during the Georgian and Victorian eras, originally designed to secure items such as muff hand-warmers, lorgnettes, or pocket watches.

Victorian guard chains were predominantly constructed from solid gold, gold casing, or silver, often featuring hand-faceted or decorative belcher links designed to reflect light.

Authentic pieces generally feature original dog clip or swivel clasps, period hallmarks on the clip or jump rings, an overall length exceeding 45 inches, and hand-finished link details consistent with 19th-century metalwork.

Due to their exceptional length, these chains can be wrapped around the neck two or three times to create a layered effect, or used to display antique charms, lockets, and modern pendants via the dog clip.

Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, ensuring all moisture is dried thoroughly with a lint-free cloth, while avoiding ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemical dip solutions.
