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 nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, silver letter openers and page turners were essential writing desk implements, used to open sealed correspondence and slice uncut book signatures without tearing paper.

Edwardian pieces were typically cast or struck in sterling silver, stamped with British hallmarks, and often decorated with chased details, engraved blades, or figurative handles representing historical characters.

Authentic British Edwardian silver features official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a town mark, a makers mark, and a specific date letter used between 1901 and 1910.

An antique silver letter opener can be styled atop a leather blotting pad on a modern desk, placed on a stack of hardcover books, or displayed inside a glass-topped collectors tray.

Maintain sterling silver by wiping it gently with a soft microfibre cloth and applying specialised silver polish sparingly to prevent tarnish build-up while protecting fine engraved details.
