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

An Edwardian travelling valet set is a portable collection of silver-mounted personal grooming accessories designed for gentlemen during the early 20th century. These sets typically included nail care tools, brushes, containers, and scissors housed in a compact carrying case for travel.

These sets were commonly constructed using sterling silver or silver-plated handles and casings, paired with steel blades, natural bristles, and glass or silver containers. Precision metalworking and chased or engraved patterns were typical of the era.

Authentic Edwardian silver items feature British hallmarks indicating the purity of the metal, the makers mark, and the year of manufacture, typically dating between 1901 and 1910. Additionally, period pieces display characteristic Edwardian motifs, such as subtle engine turning, delicate punchwork, or beaded borders.

Displaying these silver pieces on a dressing table, bathroom vanity, or tray atop a bedroom sideboard adds historical interest. Grouping the items together on a reflective tray highlights the polished metal finish while preserving their decorative utility.

Silver elements should be polished gently using a non-abrasive silver cloth and specialist polish to remove tarnish without stripping delicate details. Steel blades and natural bristles should be kept dry and clean to prevent rust and degradation over time.
