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.

Berry spoons are specialised serving utensils, typically created or modified during the Georgian and Victorian eras with embossed fruit motifs in the bowl, designed specifically for serving fresh berries and fruit desserts.

These spoons were wrought from solid sterling silver (925 purity standard), often featuring repousse embossing in the bowl, chased floral patterns on the handles, and sometimes gilt finishing.

Authentic examples bear clear British hallmark stamps including the sovereigns head duty mark, date letter, makers mark, lion passant, and town mark, typically located on the reverse of the handle stem.

Display them open in their original silk-lined presentation box on a sideboard, or integrate them into formal table settings alongside modern tableware for textural contrast.

Hand wash in warm water with mild soap, dry thoroughly immediately, and polish gently with a specialized silver cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes that wear away delicate relief detailing.
