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

During the Victorian era, scent bottles were essential vanity accessories used to store liquid perfumes, eau de cologne, or smelling salts. Renowned English makers such as Sampson Mordan & Co produced high-quality cut glass and precious metal versions for high-society dressing tables and personal use.

These items typically featured heavy lead crystal or cut glass bodies fitted with silver, gold, or silver-gilt caps and bases. Mounts frequently incorporated hinged or screw mechanisms over glass stoppers and were detailed with hand-engraved scrollwork or engine turning.

Authentic pieces often display makers marks, such as the stamp for S. Mordan & Co, alongside British silver hallmarks indicating city assay offices and date letters. Precision in the geometric cut glass facets and high-relief hand engraving on the metal mounts also indicate period manufacture.

Display the bottle on a mirrored vanity tray, bedroom dresser, or inside a glass cabinet alongside other period glassware or silver objects. Positioning the item near ambient lighting enhances the optical refraction through the cut glass body.

Clean the glass body using a dry microfibre cloth or a mild soapy water solution, ensuring liquid does not enter metal seams. Clean the metal mounts gently using a specialised silver polishing cloth to avoid removing delicate surface gilding or damaging engraved details.
