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

Silver menu card holders were introduced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to display formal dinner menus or seat placement cards at banquets and dinner parties.

These items were cast or stamped from sterling silver, featuring a flat base bar with a decorative crest and an attached rear wire strut to hold cardstock upright.

Authentic Chester silver features specific assay stamps including three wheat sheaves and a sword, alongside the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a maker mark, and a date letter.

Beyond formal dining settings, these holders can be repurposed on desks, sideboards, or console tables to display small art prints, business cards, or handwritten notes.

Gently polish silver with a soft microfibre cloth and a non-abrasive silver foam or polish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners to preserve relief details and natural patination.
