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

Grape scissors were designed during the nineteenth century as specialized dining utensils used to snip small portions of grapes from a larger cluster without damaging the surrounding fruit or dirtying fingers.

Victorian grape scissors were primarily crafted from solid sterling silver or high-grade silver plate, frequently featuring reinforced steel blades or silver-plated cutting edges for structural integrity, and stored in lined leatherette or wooden presentation cases.

Authentic sterling silver pieces feature official British hallmarks denoting the purity mark, assay office location, makers initials, and a date letter indicating the exact year of manufacture.

Open presentation cases featuring silver grape scissors can be styled as decorative accent pieces on dining room sideboards, bar carts, or inside glazed display cabinets alongside period glassware.

Silverware should be gently cleaned using a soft microfibre cloth and a dedicated silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasive chemicals and ensuring the item is completely dry before returning it to its fabric-lined case.
