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

In the Edwardian era, chafing dishes were used at formal breakfast buffets and supper parties to keep prepared dishes warm directly at the sideboard or dining table using an underlying spirit lamp.

These pieces typically combine electroplated nickel silver or solid silver frames with removable heat-resistant ceramic, earthenware, or porcelain liners to hold the food.

Authentic period examples generally display manufacturer electroplate hallmarks, such as EPNS stamps, along with period-appropriate spirit burners, fitted metal covers, and thick ceramic inserts.

An antique food warmer functions effectively as a decorative centrepiece on a dining table or sideboard, or as a functional serving piece during catered gatherings.

Clean the ceramic insert with warm soapy water, while gently polishing the silver-plated frame using a specialized silver cream and soft cotton cloth to avoid wearing down the electroplated layer.
