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

Historically, a sewing awl or stiletto was used in embroidery and tailoring to pierce clean holes in fabric without cutting the threads, allowing eyelets or lacings to be formed.

These implements were commonly crafted from sterling silver, silver plate, bone, mother-of-pearl, or steel, with silver examples featuring hand-engraved details.

Authentic pieces usually display maker marks or silver hallmarks, evidence of hand-engraved patterns, and surface wear consistent with historical usage.

Small silver accessories can be displayed inside shadow boxes, arranged on desk trays alongside books, or showcased within glass cabinet collections.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and mild silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals or submersion in water to prevent damage to detailed surface work.
