Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

An argyle, or argyll, is a specialized gravy or sauce container featuring a dual-walled construction or central hot-water chamber designed to prevent liquid fats from cooling and solidifying at the dining table.

Argyles were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring ebony, bone, or synthetic insulators integrated into the handle to protect against thermal transfer.

Authentic Victorian examples typically feature makers marks or Electroplated Nickel Silver (EPNS) stamps, construction seams indicating an internal water sleeve, and design hallmarks consistent with 19th-century metalwork.

An antique argyle can be displayed on a dining room sideboard, integrated into a polished silver tabletop vignette, or arranged within a glazed cabinet alongside period glassware.

Silver-plated items should be washed gently in warm soapy water using a non-abrasive cloth, dried immediately, and polished periodically with a specialized silver cream to prevent tarnishing and oxidisation.
