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

Prior to the development of keyless winding mechanisms in the mid-19th century, pocket watches required a separate key to wind the mainspring and set the time. These keys were crafted from gold, silver, or base metals and were routinely worn suspended from watch chains as functional fobs.

Watch keys were typically constructed using yellow gold, silver, pinchbeck, or gilt brass, paired with a steel pipe designed to fit the square winding arbor. Handles frequently incorporated decorative hardstones such as agate, chalcedony, carnelian, or bloodstone.

Authentic period watch keys exhibit fine hand-finishing, such as engine turning, hand-chased metalwork, or gold hallmarks on the frame. The steel winding pipe inside the stem usually displays light oxidation or minor wear from historical interaction with a watch arbor.

In contemporary fashion, historic watch keys are frequently worn as charms or pendants on modern gold neck chains. They are also collected and displayed in glazed specimen boxes, shadow frames, or attached to traditional Albert swivel chains.

Wipe the gold surfaces gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove oils and dirt. Avoid submerging the piece in water or using harsh chemical solvents, as moisture can weaken stone settings or cause the internal steel pipe to rust.
