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

A vinaigrette is a small decorative container used primarily during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar or perfume to ward off unpleasant public odours.

They were typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring a gold gilt interior to protect the precious metal from being corroded by acidic aromatic vinegar.

Authentic items bear official British silver hallmark stamps alongside maker marks such as S. Mordan & Co, often accompanied by detailed hand-engraved or die-stamped interior grilles.

These compact objects are suited for display inside a glass-fronted curiosity cabinet, arranged on a vanity tray, or placed atop stacked art books on a shelf.

Dust the exterior gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and avoid liquid metal polishes which can erode delicate gilding over time.
