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

In 19th-century France, luxury makers produced glass flasks with silver mounts for vanity sets, travel cases, and apothecary needs. These items often featured removable silver caps or bases designed for liquids, medicines, or pills.

They typically incorporate hand-cut or spiral-moulded clear glass combined with sterling silver or silver-gilt (vermeil) mounts. Stopper caps and bases were often custom-fitted and hand-engraved with monograms.

Authentic French pieces feature French silver hallmarks, such as the Minerva head punch mark, alongside maker marks from historic Parisian retailers. Construction typically shows precision friction-fit silver caps and hand-engraved ciphers.

Position the flask on a bathroom vanity tray, a bedroom dressing table, or alongside books on a shelf. Combining glass and polished silver introduces reflective texture and classical French design to modern surfaces.

Clean the glass exterior using a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water, avoiding harsh chemicals on silver components. Silver surfaces should be gently buffed with a dedicated silver polishing cloth to remove oxidisation without wearing down gold gilding.
