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.
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.
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.

A guilloche enamel scent bottle is a vanity vessel featuring an engine-turned geometric pattern carved into metal and coated with translucent enamel glaze, widely produced during the Edwardian and Art Deco eras.

Traditional antique scent bottles were constructed from heavy lead crystal or cut glass, fitted with sterling silver, gold, or plated stoppers that often featured enamel detailing or engraving.

Authentic silver and enamel scent bottles usually bear official assay hallmarks on the silver collar or stopper, along with clean engine-turned patterns beneath smooth enamel application without modern synthetic fills.

An antique scent bottle can be displayed on a mirrored vanity tray, a marble bathroom counter, or a dressing table beside complementary glass and metallic accents.

Clean the glass base with a damp, lint-free cloth, and polish the silver rim with a dedicated silver polishing cloth, taking care not to submerge the enamelled areas in water or chemical solvents.
