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.

Popularised in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, silver novelty pincushions were crafted in various realistic animal forms, including chicks, birds, and pigs, serving both functional sewing purposes and decorative desktop display.

These items feature cast or die-stamped sterling silver shells, filled with weight or pitch for stability, and fitted with velvet or silk cushion inserts designed to hold pins without rusting.

Look for clear hallmark stamps indicating the town mark (three sheaves and a sword for Chester), the sterling silver lion passant, date letter, and makers initials stamped directly into the silver casing.

Position small silver novelties on a dressing table, desk tray, or styled alongside books on a shelf to add an intriguing textual and historic accent to decorative displays.

Gently clean the metal exterior using a soft cloth and a mild silver polish, avoiding moisture contact with the textile cushion to prevent staining or degradation of the underlying fabric.
