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.

Edwardian silver photo frames date from the reign of King Edward VII (19011910) and the immediate years following, characterised by refined scrolling motifs, repousse borders, and silver mountings supported by fabric or leather backings.

These frames typically feature a stamped or cast sterling silver front face mounted on a wooden or card structure, frequently incorporating silk, velvet, or leather backings with integrated easel stands.

Authentic British silver frames bear official hallmark stamps indicating the silver standard (such as the lion passant for sterling), the city assay office mark (such as an anchor for Birmingham), a makers mark, and a specific date letter.

An antique silver photo frame adds texture and metallic contrast when arranged alongside contemporary ceramic vessels or framed artwork on a desk, mantelpiece, or bedside table.

Carefully polish the silver surface using a soft microfiber cloth and specialised silver foam or cream, avoiding direct contact with non-metallic backings or fabrics to prevent staining and chemical degradation.
