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

Popularised during the Victorian era, specialised asparagus dishes featuring removable wire racks allowed boiled asparagus to drain before serving, preventing water from pooling on the main platter during formal dinner service.

These pieces typically consist of a base metal alloy, such as nickel silver or copper, electroplated with a thin layer of fine silver to provide a lustrous finish suitable for formal tableware.

Authentic items usually feature maker marks or electroplate stamps such as EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver), alongside visible signs of period manufacturing like hand-soldered joints and fitted wirework.

An antique asparagus dish can be displayed as a decorative accent on a dining table, utilized for serving modern side dishes, or repurposed on a sideboard to hold curated objects.

Clean silverplated items using a soft cotton cloth and mild silver polish, avoiding abrasive pads or dishwashers, and store them in tarnish-inhibiting cloth covers to prevent rapid oxidisation.
