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.

Originally created to secure pocket watches in waistcoat pockets, Victorian watch chains and fobs were crafted from precious metals such as silver and gold. In modern fashion, these historical items are worn as statement necklaces, featuring distinct link styles paired with engraved shield or crest pendants.

Victorian watch chains were manufactured using solid sterling silver, marked with British hallmarks indicating metal purity, assay location, and date. The chains feature durable links such as belcher, curb, or Albert designs, assembled with heavy swivels and dog clip clasps.

Authentic Victorian silver pieces carry British hallmarks stamped onto individual chain links, swivels, or the fob medallion. Genuine period examples display characteristic hand-engraved decoration, dog clip fasteners, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

An antique silver fob chain serves as a versatile accessory, worn alone over high-neck knitwear or layered alongside modern pendants. The functional dog clip fastener permits customization, allowing additional charms or pendants to be attached easily.

Store sterling silver items in a dry, tarnish-resistant pouch away from excess humidity. Clean gently using a soft microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding harsh liquid dip chemicals that remove intentional oxidisation from recessed engraved details.
