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

Georgian silver game skewers were practical culinary implements used during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to secure poultry or meats during roasting and to test tenderness before serving.

These items were forged from sterling silver, featuring a long tapered blade connected to a ring, loop, or decorative finial handle.

Authentic pieces feature clear British hallmark stamps along the blade or near the handle, indicating the silver purity, city assay office, date letter, and silversmith maker mark.

They are frequently repurposed in contemporary interiors as functional desk accessories or letter openers, adding refined historic interest to an office or study display.

Maintain silver pieces by polishing gently with a soft microfibre cloth and liquid silver cleaner, avoiding harsh abrasives that could degrade stamped hallmarks or surface details.
