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

Open salt cellars, often referred to simply as salts, were individual or shared dining vessels designed to contain coarse salt prior to the widespread introduction of anti-caking agents and free-flowing salt shakers.

Salt reacts chemically with silver to cause rapid oxidation and corrosion; glass liners were incorporated to protect the precious metal casing while providing an aesthetic colour contrast.

Authentic sterling silver examples feature stamped official assay hallmarks indicating purity, maker, location, and date letter, alongside evidence of period manufacturing techniques.

These compact vessels can be repurposed as pinch pots for contemporary dining settings, used as small jewellery holders on a dressing table, or displayed as decorative silver accents on a sideboard.

The glass liners should be removed and washed in warm, soapy water, while the silver body should be gently buffed with a soft lint-free cloth and silver polish, ensuring all salt residue is removed.
