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 Edwardian era, card games such as Bridge became central to social gatherings, prompting silversmiths to create decorative card caskets. These objects were designed to house playing decks while acting as elegant tabletop accessories.

These caskets were typically constructed with a wood core for stability, wrapped in textured leather such as morocco, and fitted with hallmarked sterling silver mounts across the lid and face.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmarks stamped into the silver, denoting the silver purity mark, assay office mark, year letter, and makers initials, alongside period-appropriate leatherwork.

Position the casket on a desk, sideboard, or bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes and brass desktop accessories to complement a refined, tailored interior.

Gently buff the silver mounts using a soft microfibre or silver cloth, ensuring polish does not contact the leather exterior. Keep the leather away from direct heat and apply a neutral cream sparingly if required.
