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

A vesta case or matchbook holder is a compact portable container designed to protect friction matches from dampness and accidental friction ignition during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Match cases were produced in base metals such as brass or nickel for utility, as well as sterling silver, gold, and guilloche enamel for high-end personal accessories.

Authentic British silver cases feature official hallmarks, including a lion passant for sterling silver purity, an assay office mark such as the Birmingham anchor, a date letter, and a silversmith maker mark.

Small silver pocket antiques are placed as decorative accents on office desks, styled on bookshelves alongside antique books, or displayed on brass or lacquered trays.

Clean periodically with a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish to remove oxidisation while preserving the detail of engine-turned engraving and avoiding moisture in the hinge mechanism.
