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

Scottish pebble jewellery gained significant popularity during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, largely driven by Queen Victorias affection for Balmoral Castle and Scottish culture. Craftspeople set native agates, quartz, and jaspers into hand-engraved silver and gold settings.

These brooches typically feature indigenous Scottish agates, jasper, bloodstone, and cairngorm quartz or citrine set into finely worked sterling silver or high-carat gold mounts.

Authentic pieces feature precise hand-cut stone fittings, period-appropriate fasteners such as C-clasps with extended pins, detailed engraving along the metal borders, and natural inclusions in the inlaid stones.

While designed as wearable personal adornment, antique brooches can be displayed in velvet-lined shadow boxes, arranged on vanity trays, or integrated into decorative wall frames as curated collectibles.

Clean carefully using a soft, dry lint-free cloth and store in a dry location. Avoid chemical cleaners or submersion in water, as moisture can degrade historic settings and stone adhesives.
