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-gilt, also known as vermeil, involves coating sterling silver with a thin layer of gold to combine durability with luxurious splendour. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, silversmiths frequently applied silver-gilt collars to heavy crystal decanters to protect the glass rim from damage while signaling status at formal dinner tables.

High-end spirit decanters are constructed from heavy lead crystal, valued for its optical clarity, weight, and light refraction. Mounts and collars are typically crafted from hallmarked sterling silver, silver-gilt, or electroplated nickel silver, fitted with ground-glass stoppers designed to minimise evaporation.

Authentic British silver-mounted pieces feature hallmarking stamped onto the metal collar, indicating the maker, purity, assay office, and date letter. Additionally, genuine crystal pieces will exhibit substantial physical weight and precise hand-cut geometry or wheel-engraved motifs rather than molded glass seams.

A heavy crystal decanter serves as an elegant focal point when arranged on a silver tray alongside crystal tumblers on a dining room sideboard or a brass drinks trolley. Grouping decanters of varying heights and shapes creates visual structure within a gentlemans library, study, or living space.

Clean the interior using warm water, mild liquid soap, and non-abrasive cleaning beads, ensuring the vessel dries completely to avoid mineral rings. Silver-gilt mounts require gentle wiping with a soft silver-polishing cloth, as aggressive metal polishes can wear down the thin outer layer of gold plating over time.
