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

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

Introduced in the mid-18th century, fish slices were created to serve whole fish at formal dinner tables without breaking the delicate flesh.

Most antique examples were made from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring pierced or hand-engraved blades to allow liquids and sauces to drain.

Authentic British pieces feature official hallmarks that indicate the maker, assay office, silver purity, and year of manufacture, alongside traditional handle patterns like Fiddle and Shell.

In modern settings, these versatile utensils are frequently repurposed as elegant servers for cakes, tarts, and pastries during formal dining or afternoon tea.

Wash by hand in warm water with mild detergent, dry immediately with a soft cloth, and polish periodically using specialist silver cream to minimize oxidisation.
