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

Art Deco wristwatches from the 1930s and 1940s are defined by geometric case shapes, clear Arabic numerals, and streamlined architectural lines that reflect the modernist aesthetics of the era.

Timepieces from this era frequently featured gold-filled or solid gold cases, mechanical hand-wound movements, acrylic crystals, and textured leather wristbands.

Authenticity is confirmed by inspecting original dial signatures, matching movement serial numbers with historical manufacturer databases, and checking case maker hallmarks stamped inside the back cover.

A vintage gold wristwatch pairs appropriately with formal tailoring, business attire, or smart casual outfits featuring muted tones and leather accessories.

Mechanical timepieces require regular professional servicing every three to five years, shielding from water and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding.
