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.
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.
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.

Pocket spirit flasks gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly among country sport participants and gentlemen travellers. Glass bodies allowed the user to monitor liquid levels, while silver mounts and removable bases prevented metal contact from altering the flavour of liquor.

Flasks from this era typically feature a hand-blown clear glass vessel fitted with sterling silver or silver-plated mounts. Common mechanisms include a hinged bayonet cap with a twist-and-lock seal, alongside a removable fitted silver base that serves as a drinking cup.

Authentic British silver flasks feature hallmarks stamped onto both the neck collar and the removable silver cup. These marks include the makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling quality, and a date letter corresponding to the exact year of manufacture.

Small antique barware pieces integrate into modern interiors when grouped on a silver tray atop a sideboard, displayed within a glazed bookcase, or styled as part of a home bar collection alongside period glassware.

The exterior silver parts should be polished gently with a specialist silver cloth to prevent build-up of tarnish. Avoid submerging the flask completely in water, as moisture can become trapped beneath the metal mounts or degrade internal cork cap linings.
