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, also known as a match safe, is a small portable container designed to keep friction matches dry and safe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, nickel, or brass, often featuring interior gilding, engine-turned decoration, or integrated oval photo frames.

Authentic British silver pieces feature hallmarks including a makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling purity, and a date letter signifying the precise year of manufacture.

Small antique silver novelties can be displayed inside a glass shadow box, presented on a tray in a gentlemans study, or repurposed as a pendant on a silver chain.

Clean silver gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and specialised silver polish, taking care to avoid liquids near internal fabric linings or delicate spring hinges.
