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.

Ebonised gallery trays gained widespread popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, reflecting the eras taste for dark wood finishes offset by bright metallic detailing.

These trays were typically constructed from close-grained hardwoods such as beech, fruitwood, or walnut treated with dark stain to imitate solid ebony, fitted with electroplated nickel silver or silver-plated copper galleries.

Look for authentic wear on the ebonised surface revealing natural wood grain beneath, hand-screwed gallery fittings, and faint copper or brass bleed-through on raised areas of the silver plate.

Place the tray on a sideboard, coffee table, or bar cart to group glassware, decanters, or smaller decorative accessories, creating a defined visual anchor.

Wipe the ebonised surface with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly, while cleaning the silver-plated gallery with a soft silver-polishing cloth to prevent liquid damage to the wood.
