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

Edwardian silver desk accessories from the early 20th century often feature refined repousse work, classical motifs such as cherubs or swags, and silver handles fitted to practical office tools.

These pieces typically consist of optical glass lenses mounted within nickel or brass bezels, attached to hollow-cast or die-stamped sterling silver handles.

Authentic British silver pieces bear official assay hallmarks stamped near the ferrule or collar, including a lion passant for sterling quality, a town mark, a makers mark, and a date letter.

Place the magnifier flat atop a stack of hardback books on a coffee table, position it inside a leather desk tray, or display it on a shelf within a home study.

Clean the glass lens using a dry microfibre cloth, and gently polish the silver handle with a silver cloth, taking care not to let liquid cleaners seep into the ferrule junction.
