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

A chestnut basket is a specialised piece of 18th- or 19th-century ceramic serveware designed with pierced or reticulated sides to allow air circulation, originally used for serving warm roasted chestnuts at the dining table.

Masons ironstone was produced using a durable vitreous earthenware combined with slag, flint, and clay, fired at high temperatures to achieve strength similar to porcelain and decorated with hand-coloured transfer prints.

Authentic pieces frequently feature impressed or printed makers marks on the underside, substantial weight, and intricate chinoiserie or botanical patterns applied via transfer printing with hand-painted enamelling.

Display the basket and matching tray on a sideboard, dresser, or dining table as a centrepiece, styled either empty to showcase the openwork lattice or filled with decorative botanicals.

Wash gently by hand using warm water and a non-abrasive liquid soap, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemicals, or soaking to preserve the glazes and overglaze decoration.
