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

Commemorative silver medals were produced throughout the nineteenth century to mark significant national events, architectural completions, civic achievements, or royal occasions.

These pieces were typically struck from high-purity silver using hardened steel dies, creating high-relief architectural or portrait details alongside finely engraved inscriptions.

Authentic period medals exhibit sharp engraved lettering, appropriate metal density, correct historical dates, and natural patination within the recessed areas of the relief.

A historical medal can be displayed within its original presentation box on a dark wood bookshelf, framed in a shadowbox, or placed under a glass cloche.

Store the item in a dry, dark place inside a satin or velvet-lined case, and gently dust with a clean microfiber cloth without applying abrasive liquid polishes.
