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.

Edwardian portrait pendants typically feature delicate metalwork, miniature hand-painted portraits, and classical influences. They frequently incorporate seed pearls, black or white enamel accents, and high-carat gold settings.

These pendants were commonly crafted from 15ct or 18ct gold, encasing miniature portraits painted on vellum, copper, or ivory. Decorative borders often utilised seed pearls, enamel inlay, and protective glass covers.

Authentic pieces can be identified by examining gold hallmarks, construction methods, and period-appropriate painting techniques. Original items show precise enamel application, hand-set pearls, and gentle wear consistent with age.

These pendants can be worn on modern gold chains as a focal piece or mounted within framed shadow boxes for decorative display. They also complement contemporary minimalist attire when worn individually.

Enamel and seed pearls require gentle care without exposure to water, chemicals, or perfumes. Wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth and store flat in a fabric-lined box away from direct light.
