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 during the early 20th century, enamel cocktail sticks were designed as re-usable accessories for speakeasies and domestic entertaining to spear olives, cherries, or savouries in drinks.

These sets were commonly crafted from sterling or continental silver, featuring hand-applied enamel finials, and presented in fitted silk- and velvet-lined presentation cases.

Authentic examples typically feature maker marks or silver hallmarks near the top of the shaft, alongside crisp enamel details and uniform signs of age on the metal.

Display the set open in its original fitted presentation case atop a drinks trolley or sideboard alongside crystal decanters and glassware to add vintage charm.

Gently wipe the silver shafts with a soft silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or immersion in water, which can damage delicate enamel finials and vintage box linings.
