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.

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

During the late 19th century, Indian silversmiths in regions like Cutch, Lucknow, and Madras produced high-grade silver accessories tailored for European markets, blending native foliate motifs with Western functional forms like cigar cases.

These cases were typically raised from sheet silver, shaped with rounded edges to comfortably fit inside a pocket, and embellished using hand-chasing and repousse techniques before being fitted with a hinged cap or push-fit closure.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit dense, hand-carved or chased floral scrollwork, lack traditional British hallmarks (though some feature maker marks or silver purity stamps), and display characteristic regional decorative styles.

Small silver accessories function as refined accent pieces when displayed open on a desk tray, set on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes, or placed atop a stack of art books on a coffee table.

Gently clean antique silver using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized, non-abrasive silver polish to retain deep oxidation within chased details, avoiding submersions or harsh chemical dips.
