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.

Victorian amethyst glass wine bottles are decorative serving containers produced during the mid-to-late 19th century, crafted using manganese oxide additives to achieve their characteristic purple colour.

These bottles were hand-blown using pontil rods, resulting in slight form variations, hand-applied double ring collars, and distinctive pontil scars on the underside of the base.

Authentic pieces feature subtle hand-blown irregularities such as air bubbles or striations, a polished or rough pontil mark, and natural wear patterns along the base rim.

Position coloured glass bottles on window sills, sideboards, or open shelving where natural light can pass through the material, highlighting the deep purple tones.

Clean glass bottles using warm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemical solvents, or sudden temperature shifts that could cause thermal shock.
