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.

Silver animal figures became prominent during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly within British sporting and country pursuits traditions. They were frequently commissioned as trophies, presentation gifts, or functional desk items such as paperweights.

These ornaments are typically created using lost-wax casting or electroforming techniques to capture fine surface detail, such as fur texture. The metal figure is subsequently secured to a weighted base, often constructed from dense hardwoods like ebony or polished marble, to ensure stability.

Authentic British pieces feature official hallmarks stamped directly onto the silver surface or an attached plaque. These marks include a makers mark, a purity mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, an assay office symbol, and a date letter.

A silver desktop figurine adds texture and contrast when placed atop a stack of hardback books or positioned alongside dark timber surfaces. It serves as a subtle accent piece on a modern office desk, library shelf, or console table.

Use a soft microfibre cloth treated with silver polish to clean the metal surfaces, avoiding contact with the wooden plinth. Timber components should be maintained separately using a natural beeswax polish applied with a dry cloth.
