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

Art Deco silver vanity items from the 1930s feature clean geometric lines, streamlined rectangular or cylindrical forms, and engine-turned surface patterns. Unlike ornate Victorian predecessors, these pieces focus on symmetry, metallic lustre, and functional elegance.

Dressing table bottles were traditionally crafted from heavy clear or cut glass paired with sterling silver mounts and lids. The silver elements frequently featured guilloche enamelling, engine-turned engraving, or struck British assay hallmarks.

Authentic British silver vanity jars display a complete set of hallmarks stamped into the silver lid or collar. These marks typically include a makers mark, a town mark (such as a leopards head for London), a lion passant indicating sterling purity, and a date letter.

An antique glass and silver vanity jar can be styled atop a bathroom counter, marble tray, or bedroom dressing table. Its linear glass shape and reflective silver top add texture and historical interest when grouped with perfume bottles or small accessories.

Clean the glass section using warm water and a soft cloth, avoiding full submersion of the silver collar. Silver lids should be polished gently with a specialized silver polishing cloth to remove oxidisation without wearing down hallmarked details or surface engraving.
