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

Art Deco silver design is characterised by geometric shapes, clean lines, symmetrical patterns, and engine-turned decoration popularised during the early to mid-20th century.

Pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver (925 purity), formed through stamping or hand-raising, and decorated using precision engine-turning lathes or chased geometric borders.

Authentic British sterling silver items feature official assay office hallmarks, including a lion passant mark for silver purity, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark.

While traditionally used for smoking, these small silver vessels work well in modern spaces as trinket trays, ring dishes, or desk organisers placed on coffee tables or nightstands.

Clean sterling silver using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could wear down delicate engine-turned detailing.
