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.

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

Victorian silver tea services are characterised by elaborate ornamentation, often featuring classical, floral, and engraved motifs reflecting the heavy industrial and artistic developments of the 19th century.

These sets were typically crafted from sterling silver or through silver-plating on base metals using electroplating techniques pioneered by makers like Elkington, often combined with interior gilding known as vermeil.

Authentic pieces feature manufacturer hallmarks, date letters, and makers marks stamped into the metal, alongside characteristic hand-chased or engraved surface details.

An antique silver service can be displayed on a dark wood sideboard or a modern drinks trolley to create a focal point that contrasts historical craftsmanship with clean, modern lines.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the plating or oxidised highlights.
