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

Popularised in the 1920s, Art Deco butterfly wing jewellery incorporates real iridescent wings, predominantly from the South American Morpho butterfly, mounted beneath glass cabochons set in sterling silver.

These pieces were typically crafted using sterling silver settings, domed glass covers, and genuine iridescent tropical butterfly wings preserved beneath the glass.

Authentic pieces usually feature hallmarks such as STERLING or SILVER, makers marks like T.L.M., along with period C-clasps or trombone catches and structural iridescence that shifts in light.

An antique silver brooch can be pinned to a modern blazer lapel, fastened onto a wool scarf, or attached to the collar of a button-down shirt to add a tailored accent.

Keep butterfly wing jewellery strictly away from water and liquids, as moisture can seep under the glass and damage the wing; clean the exterior silver gently using a dry polishing cloth.
