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

Clean copper gently using a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can strip natural patination. Applying a thin coat of microcrystalline wax protects the metal surface from oxidisation and fingerprints while maintaining its soft sheen.

An antique copper tray can be placed on a sideboard, coffee table, or console to anchor smaller decorative objects, glass decanters, or books. Alternatively, displaying the tray vertically on a deep shelf or plate rack highlights its raised relief pattern as wall-mounted metal artwork.

Authentic period pieces often feature hand-hammered tool marks, uneven patination on the underside, and organic motifs typical of the period. Inspecting joinery, weight, makers marks, or hand-punched background textures assists in distinguishing period items from later mass-produced reproductions.

Traditional copper trays were typically formed by hammering copper sheet using hand techniques such as repousse and chasing. Hand-punching was frequently applied to create textured or pebbled backgrounds, contrasting with raised relief motifs and hand-scalloped borders.

Art Nouveau metalwork from the late 19th and early 20th centuries is characterised by organic, flowing lines, stylised botanical motifs, and sinuous whiplash curves. Artisans often used copper and brass to craft decorative items that integrated natural forms into functional domestic objects.
