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.

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

Shell cameos gained widespread popularity during the 19th-century Grand Tour era, when European travellers acquired relief-carved shell ornaments in Italy depicting classical mythology, portraits, and traditional religious artwork.

Authentic antique cameos were hand-carved from layered marine shells, such as bullmouth or helmet shells, utilising the natural tonal contrast between white layers and darker peach or brown backgrounds, typically mounted in gold or gilt frames.

Authentic shell cameos display subtle translucent growth lines under light, cool surface temperatures, and hand-tooling under magnification, unlike synthetic plastic or resin reproductions which appear uniform and opaque.

Antique cameo suites can be presented on velvet display stands or framed in shadow boxes, while individual pieces such as brooches and drop earrings can be paired with contemporary formal wear.

Shell is an organic material that should be wiped gently with a soft dry cloth and kept clear of water, extreme heat, and acidic chemicals, with occasional light application of mineral oil to maintain hydration.
