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.
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.

An Edwardian silver mounted purse is a small pocketbook or wallet crafted during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), featuring a leather body adorned with sterling silver corner mounts or silver clasps.

These accessories were typically constructed using fine calfskin, pigskin, or morocco leather, combined with hallmarked sterling silver mounts, hinges, and push-button fastenings.

Authentic pieces feature British assay hallmarks stamped directly onto the silver elements, indicating silver purity, the makers mark, assay office location, and a specific date letter from the 1901 to 1910 period.

Small antique leather goods can be displayed inside a glass cloche, arranged flat on a decorative valet tray on an office desk, or positioned alongside vintage books on an open shelf.

Keep the item in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight. Treat the leather occasionally with a specialist leather conditioner while carefully polishing the silver mounts with a dry microfibre cloth to prevent chemical residue from touching the leather.
