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

Display the piece as a central decorative accent on a dining table or sideboard, filling it with dry botanicals, fruit, or placing it unadorned to highlight its graphic wirework structure.

Wash gently in warm soapy water using a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes or aggressive rubbing which can permanently wear away the thin layer of fused silver and expose the copper core.

Authentic Old Sheffield Plate typically features drawn wire construction with visible copper bleeding along edges or high points where the silver layer has worn, as well as distinct folded seams or inset silver shields.

Antique wirework baskets were crafted by drawing silver-plated copper wire through dies and forming the individual strands into openwork galleries, which were then soldered onto a solid silver-plated base and structural rim.

Invented in the 1740s by Thomas Boulsover, Old Sheffield Plate is a manufacturing process where a thin layer of sterling silver is fused onto a copper ingot before being rolled into sheets and worked into tableware items.
