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

Art Nouveau decanters, produced around 1890 to 1910, are defined by sinuous lines, organic floral motifs, and asymmetrical silhouettes. German examples from the Jugendstil movement often combined electroplated metal mounts with acid-etched or cut clear glass bases.

These vessels were commonly constructed from blown glass fitted with silver-plated Britannia metal, pewter, or sterling silver mounts. Handles, spouts, and stoppers were cast separately and integrated onto the glass body.

Authentic period pieces feature organic, flowing metalwork with natural oxidation patterns and maker marks stamped on the rim, base, or handle. The glass body typically exhibits hand-engraved or etched botanical designs consistent with late 19th and early 20th-century manufacture.

A decorative spirit ewer can be styled on a dining room sideboard, tray, or open bar cart alongside minimalist modern glassware. Its striking sculptural silhouette acts as a focal point in contemporary dining and living spaces.

Clean the glass interior with warm water and soft cleaning beads, avoiding harsh chemical detergents. Clean the silver-plated exterior gently using a microfibre cloth and specialised non-abrasive polish to preserve the original finish.
