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

Alms dishes were primarily used in European churches during religious services to collect monetary offerings and charitable donations for the poor.

Historical alms dishes were hammered from sheet brass or latten alloy, featuring hand-punched rim patterns and repousse raised central designs.

Authentic early examples show evidence of hand-hammering, slight irregularities in punchwork, wear on elevated areas, and genuine oxidisation.

This decorative metalware can be supported on a plate stand on a sideboard top, displayed on a mantelpiece, or wall-mounted as part of a gallery arrangement.

Dust the item gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh abrasive metal cleaners or chemical solutions that remove the aged patina.
