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

These specialized sets were developed in the 19th century for formal multi-course dining, specifically designed for serving fresh fruit, nuts, and berries during the dessert course.

The tools are commonly crafted from electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or sterling silver, accompanied by a timber presentation box lined with silk and velvet.

Authentic pieces feature manufacturer hallmarks or EPNS stamps, detailed hand-chased or engraved foliate motifs, and custom-fitted recesses inside the period presentation case.

Display the open presentation box inside a glazed china cabinet, position it flat on a sideboard top, or style individual pieces within a formal dinner table layout.

Clean gently with silver polish and a soft cloth to avoid wearing down the silver plating, and store the items dry inside the velvet-lined box to protect against oxidisation.
