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

Silver-mounted clothes brushes emerged in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as essential components of dressing table sets and valet equipment. High-end retailers and silversmiths crafted matching suites for maintaining tailored wool, velvet, and silk garments.

Clothes brushes from the 1930s were typically constructed using natural animal bristles, such as horsehair or boar bristle, mounted into wooden or bone bases. High-grade examples were encased in sterling silver or silver-gilt covers, frequently decorated with geometric engine turning.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks struck by the London Assay Office, including the makers mark for Asprey & Co. (A & Co Ltd or similar registered mark), the sterling silver date letter for 1936, the leopards head town mark, and the lion passant standard mark.

A hallmarked silver clothes brush can be displayed on a bedroom dressing table, inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or alongside a valet stand in a dressing room to add historical texture and refined metalwork detail.

The metal casing should be dusted with a soft microfibre cloth and cleaned gently using specialist silver polish applied sparingly to avoid the bristles. Bristles should be kept dry and kept free from dust using a clean comb or dry brush.
