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.

This Victorian scent bottle is formed from clear cut glass paired with a gilt sterling silver mount. The faceted glass body displays multiple vertical panels creating a clean architectural profile, while the metal elements comprise a collar and a hinged cap. The top surface of the lid features high-relief repousse scroll and foliate ornamentation alongside an engraved monogram, completed in a gold-coloured finish. The silver demonstrates light surface wear consistent with age, and the gilding remains strong across the detailed decoration. It measures 8.5 cm high and 4 cm wide. In a contemporary home, this small container suits placement upon a bedside table, a vanity tray, or within a curated cabinet alongside other antique silver items. The piece functions as a decorative accessory that reflects late nineteenth-century design tastes. Its compact proportions allow easy positioning on small surfaces in a bedroom, dressing area, or display case.

FAQs

Victorian scent bottles were personal vanity containers created to store perfume or smelling salts, typically constructed from cut glass or crystal and fitted with sterling silver or silver-gilt caps.

These items were predominantly crafted using blown or cut lead crystal glass, paired with precious metal mounts made from sterling silver, silver-gilt, or solid karat gold.

Authentic British silver pieces feature full hallmark impressions, including a maker mark, silver purity standard mark, assay office town mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Antique scent bottles are often displayed on dressing tables, mirrored vanity trays, or bathroom shelving alongside modern cosmetics to introduce varied material textures.

The glass body should be washed gently using warm water and mild soap, while the silver-gilt top requires light dusting with a soft microfiber cloth to protect the thin gold layer from abrasive wear.
