Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

During the Edwardian era, silver-plated novelty barware often incorporated whimsical designs such as coopered barrels and themed ice tongs. These pieces were crafted for formal entertaining and dining room presentation.

They were typically fashioned from base metals such as nickel silver or brass, electroplated with a thin layer of pure silver (EPNS), and styled with engraved staves to simulate barrel construction.

Authentic pieces generally feature electroplate makers marks or hallmarks near the rim or base, along with appropriate natural patination and light copper showing where plating has softened.

Place the ice bucket on a dining room sideboard, drinks trolley, or home bar set-up alongside crystal glassware to create a refined focal point.

Clean gently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, ensuring the piece is thoroughly dried after hand washing to prevent tarnishing.
