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.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, silver double sovereign cases were designed to securely carry full and half gold sovereign coins inside spring-loaded compartments within a gentlemans waistcoat pocket.

These cases were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or solid gold, featuring internal steel or brass spring mechanisms that lifted the coins when the hinged lid was opened.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmarks stamped on both the outer casing and inner lids, indicating silver purity, the assay office location, the date letter, and the makers mark.

Many collectors wear silver sovereign cases as pendants on a silver watch chain or display them alongside pocket accessories on a dressing table or valet tray.

Wipe the silver exterior using a soft cotton cloth and silver polish, taking care to prevent liquid from entering the internal spring mechanism to avoid oxidisation and rust.
