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

A vesta case, or match safe, is a small, portable container designed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to safely store friction matches (known as vestas) in a pocket or purse.

These cases were typically constructed from sterling silver sheets stamped or hand-engraved with decorative motifs, fitted with a spring-loaded hinged cap, and finished with a ribbed striker strip along the base.

Authentic British silver from the George V era features a standard mark (such as the lion passant for sterling silver), an assay office mark (e.g., Birmingham anchor or London leopards head), a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Small silver vesta cases are often displayed on decorative trays, arranged inside shadow boxes, incorporated into vignette displays on office desks, or collected inside glass-topped curio tables.

Clean silver pieces gently using a soft microfibre cloth and a dedicated silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals, and store them in low-humidity environments to prevent rapid oxidisation.
