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

A classical oil lamp style table lighter is a decorative tabletop smoking accessory crafted to resemble ancient Roman or Greek oil vessels, popularised during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

These lighters were predominantly cast in sterling silver or silver plate, featuring a hollow reservoir for fuel, a wick burner mechanism, and detailed scroll or figurative handles.

Authenticity is verified by checking official hallmarks stamped onto the body or base, indicating silver purity standards, the maker mark, assay office, and year date letter.

Position the piece as a decorative accent on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece alongside leather-bound books and brass desktop accessories.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish to remove oxidisation, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could erode detailed chasing or engraving.
