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

This style of porcelain tea service features hand-painted still-life depictions of fruits, such as apples, berries, and grapes, set against shaded backgrounds. Developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries, these pieces are frequently finished with burnished gold leaf on handles, spouts, rims, and vessel interiors.

Pieces are made from fine bone china or porcelain, fired multiple times to fix both the hand-painted enamels and the heavy gold gilding. Artists specialised in specific fruits, signing individual items after completing delicate brushwork.

Authentic items bear the printed manufacturers backstamp on the base, often accompanied by date codes or artist signatures near the artwork. Look for micro-detail in the brushwork and heavy, burnished gilding on the interior surfaces and handles.

A complete service can be arranged inside a glass-fronted display cabinet or laid out across a dark wood sideboard top to highlight the contrast between the gilded surfaces and polished wood.

Gilded porcelain should be washed by hand using warm water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads, dishwashers, or harsh chemicals that can wear down the gold leaf and enamel decoration.
