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

Invented in the mid-18th century, Old Sheffield Plate was created by fusing a sheet of silver onto a copper ingot before rolling and shaping the metal into functional object forms.

Craftsmen formed the central columns and scrolling branches from fused silver-copper sheets, joining sections with solder and adding weighted bases for balance.

Authentic pieces feature areas of copper bleed-through where silver has naturally worn, alongside flat-chased details, turned edges, and an absence of modern electroplating marks.

Place them along a polished wood dining table or console surface to introduce classical proportions and reflective metallic contrast.

Wipe down with a non-abrasive cotton cloth and use specialised silver cream sparingly to prevent wearing away the thin silver layer.
