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.

Scent flasks were designed as portable vessels to hold perfume, liquid scents, or smelling salts. Popular throughout the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, these compact luxury items were carried in pockets or purses and crafted by fine metalsmiths as symbols of status and personal refinement.

Antique scent flasks were commonly constructed from precious metals including solid gold, sterling silver, or silver-gilt. Techniques such as guilloche engine turning were used to carve intricate geometric surface patterns, while tops featured fitted stoppers or screw caps to prevent evaporation.

Authentic gold pieces from the 19th and early 20th centuries generally feature official assay hallmarks indicating the purity of the metal, the makers mark, and the town of production. Furthermore, precision in the engine-turned engraving and a smooth, seamless fit on the stopper indicate genuine historical craftsmanship.

Small antique vanity items function best when displayed on a tray atop a bedside table, dressing table, or bathroom counter. Grouping a metal scent flask alongside glass perfume bottles or framed miniature artwork creates a curated, layered display.

Gold should be gently wiped with a soft microfibre cloth or a specialised polishing cloth to remove finger oils and dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes, and ensure any internal liquid residue is fully dried to preserve the metal integrity.
