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 skirt lifter, also known as a dress holder or skirt grip, was a popular 19th-century accessory used by Victorian women to raise their long skirts clear of wet or dirty ground.

These devices were typically crafted from sterling silver, nickel silver, brass, or silver plate, often featuring engraved handles and spring-loaded clamping mechanisms.

Authentic period examples display 19th-century mechanical joinery, period hallmarks or maker marks, and characteristic Victorian design elements such as hand motifs or foliage engraving.

Small silver novelties like skirt lifters are frequently styled within glass display domes, mounted inside shadow boxes, or displayed on velvet-lined trays in dressing rooms.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and polish sparingly using a dedicated silver cloth to preserve detail while avoiding damage to internal springs or original oxidisation.
