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

Popularised around the turn of the 20th century, Art Nouveau insect jewellery features naturalistic motifs such as butterflies and dragonflies, defined by flowing organic curves and translucent enamelling designed to catch the light.

Plique-a-jour is a vitreous enamelling technique where molten glass enamel is applied into open cell frameworks without a metal backing, creating a stained-glass appearance when illuminated.

Authentic period pieces typically display makers marks or silver purity hallmarks, hand-cut gemstone or paste settings, pierced silver frameworks, and gradual colour shading within the enamel rather than modern acrylic finishes.

An enamel pendant functions best as a central accent against monochrome fabrics, such as a crisp white shirt, silk blouse, or fine knitwear, allowing the colour and silhouetted detail to remain prominent.

Clean gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, chemicals, or ultrasonic tanks that can fracture fragile enamel. Store flat in a lined jewellery box protected from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations.
