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.

Popular during the 19th century, double-ended scent bottles typically feature two distinct glass compartments, designed to hold liquid perfume at one end and smelling salts or vinaigrette at the opposite end.

These bottles were frequently manufactured using faceted lead crystal or coloured glass, such as emerald, cobalt, or ruby, paired with silver or silver-gilt embossed caps and hinged stoppers.

Authentic Victorian examples often display hand-faceted glass work, silver hallmarks or makers marks on the metal caps, and original glass internal stoppers beneath the screw or push-button lids.

Displaying small glass bottles on a vanity tray, dressing table, or curated alongside books in a bedroom creates a refined decorative arrangement that highlights historic craftsmanship.

Clean the glass exterior gently using a dry, soft cloth while avoiding liquid submersion, and polish the silver caps carefully using a specialized silver polishing cloth to protect the metal finish.
