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.

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

Authenticity is typically determined through official silver hallmarks, makers marks, the weight and patina of the metal, and the historical accuracy of the inset coin.

This piece can be displayed on a sideboard top as part of a curated barware collection or integrated into a table setting as a decorative object.

Antique silver should be gently washed in warm water with a mild, phosphate-free soap and dried with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh abrasive polishes that can wear away hallmarks.

Authentic period tastevins are predominantly crafted from high-grade sterling or coin silver, often featuring embossed patterns designed to reflect candlelight.

A tastevin is a traditional shallow cup used by winemakers, merchants, and sommeliers to examine the colour, clarity, and development of wine before bottling or serving.
