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

Mote spoons were designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to strain floating tea leaves, known as motes, from poured tea and to clear spout blockages using the pointed tip.

They are typically forged from hallmarked sterling silver, featuring hand-pierced or stamped fretwork patterns in the bowl alongside a slender or twisted wire stem.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks denoting silver purity, the assay office mark, a date letter, and a silversmiths initials stamped along the stem or bowl reverse.

An antique mote spoon can be displayed inside a glass shadow box frame, arranged on a dining tray beside period tableware, or kept in a cabinet of curiosities.

Clean gently using warm water and a mild detergent, followed by light polishing with a non-abrasive silver cloth to remove oxidisation without wearing down delicate fretwork.
