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.
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.

George V silver gilt pieces, produced between 1910 and 1936, typically feature classical proportions combined with a thin layer of gold electroplated or fire-gilded over solid sterling silver.

These sets comprise solid sterling silver components gilded with gold, often presented within custom leather-bound cases lined with velvet and silk.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmark stamps indicating the town mark, such as Birminghams anchor, the lion passant for sterling purity, a date letter, and the makers mark.

A cased silver gilt desk set can be positioned open on an executive desk, sideboard, or bookshelf to serve as a refined decorative focal point.

Silver gilt should be cleaned gently using a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh silver polishes that can strip away the gilding.
