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 Georgian silver bread or cake basket is a decorative tabletop container produced during the reign of Kings George I through IV, featuring an overhead swing handle and hand-chased or engraved ornamentation.

These vessels were hand-raised from solid sterling silver, incorporating fluted bodies, hand-engraved floral motifs, cast rims, and a hinged overhead handle.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks stamped by the Newcastle Assay Office, including the town mark of three castles, a makers mark, the lion passant, a monarch head duty mark, and the date letter corresponding to 1814.

Position the vessel on a dining table or sideboard top as a focal point, displayed empty to highlight the interior engraving or used to hold fruit.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive materials, and store in a low-humidity environment to minimise oxidisation.
