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.

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 Victorian era, silver serving tongs were specialised table utensils designed for serving items such as pastry, cake, sugar cubes, or asparagus without direct hand contact.

Antique sterling silver tongs were crafted from an alloy containing 92.5 percent pure silver, often featuring hand-engraved or pierced decorative blades connected by a spring-tensioned hinge or solid bowed bridge.

Authentic British silver items feature official hallmarks stamped into the metal, including a makers mark, purity mark (lion passant for sterling silver), assay office mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Antique silver tongs can be styled as functional flatware during formal dining occasions or displayed alongside silver tea services, on dining sideboards, or inside glazed china cabinets.

Sterling silver should be cleaned periodically using a soft cloth and specialised non-abrasive silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or dishwasher use to preserve the metal.
