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

Cairoware refers to decorative brass and copper objects crafted in Cairo during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, featuring silver and copper inlay inspired by fourteenth-century Mamluk metalwork.

Artisans used sheet brass or copper as the primary substrate, executing pierced fretwork, hand engraving, and the mechanical insertion of silver or gold wire into engraved surface channels.

Authentic nineteenth-century Cairoware features dense calligraphic inscriptions, hand-hammered seams, heavy gauge metal, and physical metal wire inlay rather than superficial chemical plating.

Position the metal stand as a focal architectural piece alongside minimalist contemporary furniture, or within a study to contrast metalwork against natural timber and soft upholstery.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid polishes or aggressive chemical cleaners that can lift delicate metal inlay or remove natural patination.
