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.

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

Modernist silver from the mid-20th century typically eschews traditional historic revivalism in favour of abstract forms, clean lines, and an emphasis on texture and the inherent properties of the metal.

These pieces are generally crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as casting, hammering, chasing, and hand-polishing by skilled silversmiths.

Authentic pieces are identified through official hallmarks stamped into the metal, which indicate the makers mark, the standard of silver, the assay office, and the date letter for the year of manufacture.

A silver trinket box adds a reflective, tactile element when placed on a coffee table, bookshelf, or desk as a functional decorative object alongside books and ceramics.

Solid silver should be cleaned periodically using a specialist silver cloth or mild silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive materials that can scratch the textured surface.
