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

Sugar tongs were designed during the 18th and 19th centuries as essential tea service accessories used to hygienically transfer individual sugar cubes or loaves into tea cups.

Antique sugar tongs were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, featuring a flexible U-shaped bow connected to two spoon or claw shaped grips.

Authentic Victorian silver pieces display official British hallmark stamps including a makers mark, town mark, duty mark, date letter, and the lion passant indicating sterling purity.

Silver sugar tongs can be styled alongside modern teaware on a dining sideboard, displayed in a glass-top cutlery cabinet, or repurposed on a cocktail bar cart for serving ice or citrus garnishes.

Maintain sterling silver sugar tongs by polishing them gently with a non-abrasive microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive force across the spring bow.
