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.

Crafted during the reign of King George III in Britain, these sauce boats typically feature Rococo and Neoclassical influences, characterised by double-scroll handles, scalloped rims, and three shell-capped cabriole legs.

Silversmiths raised these vessels by hand-hammering sheet sterling silver into shape, casting separate handles and legs, and soldering the components together before finishing with hand-chasing or engraving.

Authentic pieces display a complete set of British hallmarks, including the makers mark, town mark, lion passant verifying sterling purity, and a date letter corresponding to the manufacturing year.

Positioned on a dining room sideboard or display cabinet, silver sauce boats serve as functional serving pieces or decorative accents that introduce reflective metallic tone to modern interiors.

Silver should be polished periodically with a soft cloth and specialised non-abrasive silver polish, stored in low-humidity environments, and washed gently by hand rather than in automated dishwashers.
