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.

Secure Transit

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 mid-20th century, French silversmiths produced refined barware designed for formal entertaining, blending utility with understated elegance. Companies such as Christofle, through lines like Gallia, created silver-plated items that reflected changing tastes from ornate Art Deco to streamlined modernism.

These items typically consist of a base metal alloy, such as brass or nickel silver, electroplated with a layer of pure silver. Construction often features soldered pivot points for swing handles and lathe-turned concentric reeding applied around the body for subtle texture.

Authentic pieces are marked on the base with makers stamps, often including the Gallia name, a rooster or cat emblem, or specific production numbers. The silver plating exhibits a uniform, smooth finish with precise joinery around the handle mounts.

A silver-plated ice pail functions effectively on a sideboard, drinks trolley, or kitchen island alongside glassware. When not in use for entertaining, it can serve as an elegant vase for floral arrangements or a decorative container on open shelving.

Regular polishing with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive silver cream removes tarnish without wearing down the thin layer of silver plating. Hand wash with warm water and mild soap after use, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or dishwasher detergents.
