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

Repousse is a metalworking technique where malleable sterling silver is shaped by hammering design details from the reverse side, creating relief patterns such as floral scrolls, foliage, and figures.

These vessels were formed from sterling silver, an alloy comprising 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for structural durability, often incorporating chased detailing and cast side handles.

Authentic sterling silver hollowware features official assay hallmarks stamped into the metal, which indicate purity standards, makers marks, location stamps, and date letters.

A large silver bowl serves as a focal point when placed in the centre of a dining table or on a sideboard, where it can be styled empty or filled with seasonal botanicals.

Sterling silver should be washed in warm water with mild detergent, dried thoroughly, and periodically polished using a non-abrasive silver cream and a soft cotton cloth to remove oxidisation.
