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

Preservation involves storing pieces in a stable, dry environment, avoiding harsh chemical silver dips to preserve original patination and gilt interiors, and handling them with soft cloths to prevent surface abrasion.

These small collectables are frequently displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets, on desk surfaces, or within specialised display trays to highlight their miniature craftsmanship.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the pieces, usually including a makers mark, town mark (such as the anchor for Birmingham), standard mark, and a date letter corresponding to the active working period.

These items were typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring internal gilding (wash) to protect the metal from the corrosive nature of vinegar, and incorporated intricately pierced and engraved gold-plated grilles.

A vinaigrette is a small pocket-sized container used during the Georgian period to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, designed to be inhaled to mask unpleasant odours or prevent fainting.
