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

During the early twentieth century and the Art Deco period, portable hip flasks became popular sporting and social accessories in Britain. Designed to fit neatly into a jacket pocket, they were routinely carried during outdoor country pursuits, hunting trips, and race meetings.

Classic British hip flasks typically feature a glass inner body enclosed within a protective leather upper sleeve and a silver-plated or solid silver lower cup. They are usually finished with a hinged bayonet cap mechanism to prevent leaks.

Authentic pieces from this period often display makers marks or EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver) stamps near the neck or base. Features like a twist-and-lock bayonet cap, a cut-out sight window in the leather sleeve to check liquid levels, and a removable base cup are strong indicators of age.

A vintage hip flask functions well as a tactile decorative object when displayed on a bar cart, styled inside a glazed bookcase, or placed atop a gentlemans valet tray alongside brass and dark timber accents.

Polishing cloth should be used carefully on the silver-plated metalwork to remove tarnish without stripping the plating. Leather sleeves should be kept dry and treated occasionally with a neutral leather balm, while the interior should be rinsed with warm water rather than submerged.
