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

Antique silver sugar tongs were designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as essential components of formal tea services to pick up individual sugar loaves or cubes cleanly without touching them.

Sugar tongs were predominantly forged from solid sterling silver or crafted in silver plate, featuring hand-worked details such as cast shell grips, bright-cut engraving, and twisted stems.

Authentic sterling silver sugar tongs feature assay hallmarks, maker marks, and date letters stamped on the inside of the bow or along the inner arms, accompanied by subtle surface wear and natural tarnish.

Antique sugar tongs can be displayed on a dining sideboard alongside contemporary ceramics, arranged on a cocktail tray with glassware, or showcased inside a glazed cabinet.

Wash silver sugar tongs gently in warm soapy water, dry completely with a lint-free cloth, and polish occasionally using a specialised silver polishing cloth to keep the surface bright while preserving natural oxidisation in recessed areas.
