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

First emerging in the mid-eighteenth century, silver cake baskets were designed with swing handles and decorative pierced borders to serve baked goods, sweetmeats, or fresh fruit during formal tea and dining services.

Items from this period were typically produced using electroplating, where a layer of pure silver was electrically deposited onto a base metal alloy, such as electroplated nickel silver, often finished with die-stamped or pierced fretwork.

Authentic Elkington silver plate features specific makers marks, including the Elkington shield or crown logo, date letters, and lettering such as EP or EPNS stamped into the underside of the base.

Place the basket as a central accent on a dining table, sideboard, or kitchen island filled with fresh produce, pinecones, or left empty to highlight its intricate pierced metalwork.

Wash with mild soap and warm water, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth, and polish periodically using a non-abrasive silver cream to remove oxidisation without wearing down the thin layer of silver plating.
