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.

A 1960 Victorian style padlock charm pendant is modelled in 9ct yellow gold with a bright gold finish and a heart shape. The front of the padlock displays hand-engraved foliate scrollwork, screw-like rivet details, and a central keyhole, while the reverse shows minimal wear. A hinged shackle sits atop the body alongside a small suspension loop. The padlock measures 2.0 cm x 1.2 cm and weighs 2.33 grams, bearing hallmarks including GJL 9, 375, a London mark, and the date letter e for 1960. In a modern home, this pendant is designed to be worn as jewellery by attaching it to a favourite chain or bracelet for everyday wear or special occasions. The integrated fastener operates with a working mechanism to secure the shackle. It serves as a wearable vintage accessory or a personal addition to an existing collection of charms and pendants.

FAQs

Heart padlocks gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, serving as symbolic tokens of love and affection. They were traditionally used as functional clasps on gate bracelets or worn independently as decorative pendants.

These charms are typically crafted from 9ct, 12ct, or 15ct yellow gold, often featuring hand-engraved foliate patterns and internal steel spring mechanisms to operate the shackle.

Authentic pieces generally display historical hallmark stamps such as 9ct or 375, hand-chased scrollwork, and a distinctive keyhole detail alongside age-consistent surface wear.

A gold padlock charm can be suspended from a thick gold chain as a standalone pendant, integrated into a charm bracelet, or layered alongside modern gold necklaces.

Clean the surface gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or warm water with mild soap, ensuring liquid does not penetrate the internal spring shackle mechanism.
