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

Introduced during the 18th century, a wine coaster (also known as a bottle slide) was crafted to slide easily across polished mahogany dining tables, allowing port or wine to pass around the table without scratching the wood.

Traditional Georgian wine coasters feature a sterling silver pierced gallery fitted around a turned wood base, often lined with baize on the underside to protect tabletop surfaces.

Authentic pieces carry British silver hallmarks stamped into the gallery rim or central cartouche, along with period-appropriate hand-pierced decoration, period crests, and original turned wooden bases.

In contemporary settings, a silver wine coaster can be displayed on a sideboard, drinks trolley, or dining table to hold wine bottles, decanters, or pillar candles while protecting surfaces.

Gently clean the silver gallery with a dedicated silver polishing cloth, avoiding liquid dips or excessive moisture that could damage the turned wood base or underside baize lining.
