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

Sweetmeat baskets were created in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to serve small confections, candied fruits, or comfits at formal dining tables and tea services.

These pieces were typically cast, chased, or repousse-worked from sterling silver or continental silver, often featuring detailed lattice piercing, engraved floral patterns, and soldered handles.

Authentic examples bear official purity hallmarks, makers marks, and city stamps, alongside natural signs of historical wear and hand-chased construction details rather than modern cast seams.

Small silver accessories function well when displayed on a sideboard, placed on a stacked array of art books, or arranged within a glass display cabinet to add metallic texture.

Silver items should be polished gently with a soft microfibre cloth and a specialised silver cream, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners or prolonged exposure to high humidity.
