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 nineteenth century, silver pin cushions were popular decorative and functional sewing accessories, often crafted in novelty shapes such as hearts or animals, featuring repousse silver borders surrounding fabric tops.

These items were typically constructed from sterling silver or silver plate frames, enclosing a central cushion stuffed with horsehair, sawdust, or wool, and covered in velvet, satin, or silk.

Authentic pieces display period hallmarks or makers marks, such as standard sterling purity stamps or specific manufacturer logos, alongside natural surface oxidisation and crisp relief detailing.

Small antique silver novelty items can be styled on a bedroom dressing table, displayed inside a glass curiosity cabinet, or placed atop a stack of books on a console table.

Clean the silver frame gently using a soft, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth while keeping liquid cleansers away from the textile cushion to prevent staining or moisture damage.
