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

Knife rests became popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to prevent carving knives and eating utensils from soiling the tablecloth between courses during elaborate multi-course meals.

Traditional knife rests were crafted from a variety of materials including sterling silver, silver plate, brass, porcelain, glass, ivory, and occasionally wood.

Authenticity is typically determined by examining manufacturing marks, the weight of the piece, the quality of the casting detail, and natural signs of wear such as minor oxidisation and loss of silver plate.

These decorative objects can be utilised creatively on a dining table, displayed within a cabinet, or repurposed as small display stands for other curiosities to add historical character to contemporary spaces.

Care involves gentle cleaning with a specialised silver polishing cloth to maintain the shine without wearing away the thin silver layer, avoiding harsh chemical dips.
