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 Edwardian silver mounted glass holder is a small decorative container produced during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), typically crafted from blown or moulded glass and fitted with a sterling silver collar or rim designed to hold matches, toothpicks, or quills.

These table accessories were commonly crafted using sterling silver mounts hallmarked in British assay offices, paired with coloured, pressed, or cut glass bodies in shades such as green, cranberry, or clear crystal.

Authenticity is verified by examining the silver rim for British hallmarks, including a makers mark, town mark, date letter corresponding to the 19011910 period, and the lion passant standard mark for sterling silver.

Position the piece on a bar cart, sideboard, or bookshelf alongside contemporary barware or vintage brass objects to add a historical accent to modern entertaining spaces.

Wipe the glass gently with a soft microfiber cloth and clean the silver rim using a specialized silver polishing cloth, avoiding full immersion in water to protect the seal between the metal and glass.
