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

A claret jug is a glass vessel crafted specifically for serving red wine, traditionally Bordeaux claret. Acid etching is a technique where hydrofluoric acid is applied to glass surfaces masked with wax or resist to create detailed frosted surface patterns.

These pieces were typically mouth-blown from lead crystal or soda glass to ensure high clarity. Decorative motifs were applied using chemical acid baths, wheel engraving, or stone cutting, while solid glass handles were applied by hand while molten.

Authentic nineteenth-century glass vessels often feature pontil marks on the base, minor glass inclusions from historical manufacturing methods, and finely detailed classical bands such as Greek key motifs. Natural contact wear on the underside of the foot rim also indicates age.

Position the item on a sideboard top, drink trolley, or dining table centre to highlight its silhouette. Placing clear glass vessels near natural light sources enhances the etched surface details without cluttering the surrounding space.

Hand wash gently with warm water and mild detergent, avoiding dishwashers which cause irreversible surface clouding. Ensure the interior dries fully after use to prevent water spot accumulation, and avoid abrasive scourers on etched areas.
