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

Knife rests were introduced in the late eighteenth century and gained widespread popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras to protect table linens from greasy cutlery. Fine dining sets often featured cut crystal or glass central bars fitted with sterling silver end caps, presented in bespoke fitted cases.

High-grade antique knife rests were crafted using lead crystal or deeply cut glass for the central bar, paired with solid sterling silver or silver-plated metal end caps. Presentation sets included custom wooden or leatherette cases lined with velvet and silk.

Authentic pieces from this era typically feature British hallmarks or maker marks stamped onto the silver end collars. The glass central bars display crisp, hand-cut geometric facets, and original sets retain their fitted presentation boxes with period velvet linings.

These decorative dining accessories can be incorporated into formal tablescapes alongside contemporary tableware to add contrast and texture. When not in active use, displaying them open in their presentation case on a sideboard or within a glazed cabinet adds subtle historical character.

Clean the glass bars gently using warm water and a mild detergent, ensuring liquid does not enter the joins between the glass and metal. The silver mounts should be polished with a soft silver cloth, avoiding abrasive creams that can compromise the hallmarks or surrounding materials.
