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.

Victorian pierced silver vases feature intricate openwork cutting or fretwork, often incorporating floral, scrollwork, or foliate motifs. They typically included removable glass liners to hold liquids without corroding the metal structure.

Silversmiths pierced solid silver sheet or sleeves using manual hand saws and punches to form decorative patterns prior to shaping the vessel. Custom glass liners were hand-blown or moulded to sit securely within the silver sleeve, insulating the metal from moisture.

Authentic British silver items feature full hallmark sets, including the makers mark, town mark, standard mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, and a date letter. Detailed inspection of hand-pierced openwork reveals subtle hand-tooling marks rather than machine uniformity.

Pair silver vases on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table to establish visual symmetry. Their reflective metallic finish complements both contemporary minimalist settings and classic interior schemes, whether displayed empty or styled with single botanical stems.

Remove and wash glass liners separately using warm water and mild detergent. Clean the outer silver casing gently using a soft cloth and specialized silver polish, ensuring residue does not accumulate within the openwork detailing.
