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

Sterling silver should be cleaned using a specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the natural oxidisation from engraved recesses.

An antique silver tea set can be displayed on a sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving to introduce metallic contrast and historic character into both traditional and modern living spaces.

Authenticity is verified through hallmark stamps on the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark for sterling silver, a town assay mark, and a date letter corresponding to the active period.

These sets were crafted from sterling silver, often featuring detailed repousse work, chasing, and hand-engraved motifs, frequently paired with insulators on the handles such as wood, bone, or ebony.

A bachelor tea set typically comprises a scaled-down teapot, milk jug, and sugar basin designed for single-person use or intimate settings during the late 19th century.
