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

During the early 20th century, sterling silver butter dishes featuring pierced geometric fretwork and fitted glass liners became standard dining table accessories across North America.

These items typically feature an outer frame crafted from 925 sterling silver with machine-punched or hand-cut fretwork patterns, set on small spherical feet and completed with a fitted clear glass insert.

Authentic pieces carry maker marks alongside the word STERLING or .925 stamped into the metal, usually positioned on the underside of the silver frame or base rim.

This small vessel can be integrated into contemporary dining settings as a butter dish, a salt cellar, or a decorative container for trinkets on a sideboard or vanity.

Clean the glass liner separately using warm soapy water, and gently polish the silver frame with a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish to avoid damaging pierced details.
