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.

A Victorian silver-mounted purse is a personal pocket accessory from the late 19th century, typically constructed from leather and embellished with sterling silver corners, clasps, or mounts.

These items were generally constructed using tanned leather, such as calfskin or morocco leather, combined with hallmarked sterling silver fittings and internal silk or leather linings.

Authentic British pieces feature official assay hallmarks, including a makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling silver, and a date letter corresponding to the late Victorian era.

Small antique leather accessories can be displayed inside a glass cloche, presented on a decorative tray, or arranged within a shallow shadow box alongside historical ephemera.

Keep the leather conditioned with specialized, acid-free leather creams while using a soft microfiber cloth to gently polish the silver mounts, avoiding chemical cleaners that could damage the leather.
