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.

A silver napkin clip was designed to secure a fabric serviette to a collar or lapel during dining, protecting clothing from spills during formal meals in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, utilizing spring-tension mechanisms or hook shapes, and frequently decorated with hand-engraved foliate or shield motifs.

Authentic items feature British hallmark stamps indicating silver purity, city assay offices, and date letters corresponding to the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), alongside period-appropriate engraving.

An antique napkin clip can be styled as a functional accent on formal dining tables, integrated into place settings, or arranged on decorative silver trays atop dressers and sideboards.

Maintain silver pieces by dusting gently and applying a specialized silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage light surface details or engraving.
