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.

FAQs

Sterling silver butter dishes and associated servers became prominent in formal table settings during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, often presented in custom-fitted presentation cases as wedding or anniversary gifts.

These sets are typically crafted from solid sterling silver utilising traditional manufacturing methods such as stamping, repousse, and hand-chasing, housed in leatherette cases lined with silk and velvet.

Authentic pieces feature official government hallmarks indicating the metal purity standard, assay office, and date letter, alongside makers marks stamped into the silver.

Antique silver tableware can be displayed open on sideboards or kept within glass-fronted cabinets to add textural contrast and reflective metallic elements to contemporary spaces.

Sterling silver should be cleaned periodically with a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and stored in anti-tarnish cloths or lined presentation boxes away from moisture and direct sunlight.
