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.

Hip flasks gained widespread popularity during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, initially designed for gentry attending outdoor sports and field events. Silver became the preferred material due to its non-reactive properties, preserving the taste of spirits while serving as a status symbol.

Historically, silver hip flasks were handcrafted with subtle ergonomic curves to fit comfortably against the body. They frequently feature bayonet locking mechanisms or screw caps attached via hinged captive tops to prevent misplacement.

Authentic British sterling silver flasks feature standard hallmark stamps indicating the purity mark (such as a lion passant), the makers mark, the assay office mark, and a date letter. Silver-plated items generally carry marks such as EPNS rather than official hallmarks.

A silver hip flask can be displayed on a bar cart, a drinks tray, or styled alongside books on open shelving. Its metallic finish adds texture and polished reflective detail to tailored spaces.

Clean the exterior using a soft cotton cloth and a specialised silver polish to remove oxidisation and tarnish. For internal cleaning, rinse thoroughly with warm water and allow to air dry completely without immersing fully in liquid.
