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

An 18th-century silver spoon featuring a pierced bowl designed to skim floating tea leaves from a cup, alongside a pointed stem used to unblock teapot spouts.

Mote spoons were wrought from sterling silver, featuring hand-pierced scrollwork or lattice patterns on the bowl and a hand-hammered tapered stem.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate piercing, often a cast shell or leaf motif on the heel of the bowl, and maker or silver purity marks on the stem.

Small antique silver utensils can be displayed in shadow boxes, arranged on velvet trays within glazed cabinets, or showcased on sideboards alongside contemporary tableware.

Clean gently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, taking care around intricate pierced sections, and store in dry conditions.
