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

During the Edwardian period, novelty silver tableware depicting animals and birds gained popularity as conversational dining accessories, reflecting silver craftsmanship and formal entertaining customs of the era.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from sterling silver meeting the 925 purity standard, often featuring detailed chasing or occasional glass inlays for specific features.

Authentic British sterling silver features official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark, makers initials, and a date letter specific to the year of manufacture.

They can be arranged on a sideboard, display shelf, or dining table alongside contemporary tableware to add historical character to a modern dining space.

Clean gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals or complete immersion in water to protect delicate surface details and patination.
