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

Produced primarily in England during the mid-to-late 18th century, opaque twist wine glasses feature internal white enamel threads encapsulated within a clear glass stem, created using specialised cane-drawing techniques.

These glasses were crafted from heavy lead crystal, utilising rods of white opaque enamel embedded into clear glass before being heated, drawn, and twisted to form the internal decorative stem.

Authentic examples typically feature a pontil mark or smoothed pontil scar on the underside of the conical base, subtle hand-blown irregularities, heavy lead content, and wear consistent with age on the foot rim.

Antique stemware can be displayed inside illuminated glass cabinets, arranged on brass bar carts, or styled along dining room sideboards as focal decorative objects.

Clean gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding dishwashers or rapid temperature changes that can cause thermal shock and permanent damage.
