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.

This Continental sterling silver and enamel card or cheroot case dates from the Edwardian period and belongs to the Art Deco Glamour style. The rectangular object measures 0.6 cm high, 5 cm wide and 7.6 cm deep. It includes a hinged cover decorated with a central bright blue guilloche enamelled shaped panel within a black line surround, alongside a foliate scroll pattern, a white scroll enamel border, and silver gilt details. The sides show turquoise enamel while the base displays an engine turned pattern. The silver surface exhibits delicate chased scrollwork and fine beaded edges framing the central enamel panel. Suitably sized for an office desk, the piece functions as a decorative container or a desk accessory in a home setting. The materials comprise sterling silver, vitreous enamel, and gilt metal, presented in a colour palette of blue, silver, and white. The item remains in very good original condition, maintaining intact enamel without visible damage.

FAQs

These portable container boxes were crafted during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to securely store visiting cards, small cigars, or cheroots, combining functional silversmithing with fine decorative enamelling techniques.

They are typically constructed from solid sterling or Continental silver, featuring guilloche enamel engine-turning patterns beneath vitreous enamel, often accented with gilt rims, champleve scrollwork, or black enamel borders.

Authentic period pieces bear makers marks or purity hallmarks, such as 925 or Austro-Hungarian silver marks, alongside crisp engine-turned patterns under smooth, hand-fired glass enamel.

These compact decorative objects can be placed flat on a tray, arranged inside a glazed collectors cabinet, or displayed on a desk alongside period accessories.

Wipe the enamelled surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid immersion in water or abrasive polishes, applying silver polish sparingly only to untoned silver edges using a precision swab.
