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.

This Victorian locket takes the form of an oval Sterling silver piece finished in black enamel with white seed pearls. The surface displays detailed silver foliate scroll inlay, seed pearl settings, and an oval cabochon form alongside a silver bale attachment, while the photograph reveals a polished glossy black surface, detailed engraved silver floral motifs, and a hinged loop mechanism at the top. The piece dates to the 1880s and exhibits original condition with a small surface-level loss of enamel at the lower part, as well as an internal glass compartment for a keepsake photograph. Measuring 61 mm with bail by 35 mm, the item provides a substantial pendant size for daily wear. It is worn suspended from a chain around the neck as a personal keepsake or jewellery accessory in modern wardrobes.

FAQs

Victorian black enamel lockets were widely worn during the 19th century, frequently associated with mourning customs and sentimental gift-giving following trends established by the British monarchy.

These items were typically constructed from sterling or coin silver, vitreous enamel, and inlaid with decorative elements such as silver wire, gold pique, or natural split seed pearls.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut silver or gold inlays, vitreous glass enamel rather than modern acrylic resin, hand-engraved interior frames, and period makers marks or hallmarks.

An antique silver locket can be suspended from a modern fine silver chain or layered alongside minimal modern necklaces to complement both formal and casual tailoring.

Clean gently using a dry microfibre cloth and avoid contact with water, chemical polishes, or perfumes, as moisture can degrade pearl mountings and compromise the internal photo compartments.
