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.

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

Miniature trowel-shaped page markers gained popularity during the late Victorian and early 20th-century periods as novelty desk accessories. Silversmiths designed these functional items to slip over book pages without causing creasing.

These items are constructed from sterling silver blades paired with handles made from natural organic materials or early plastics such as bone, mother of pearl, tortoiseshell, or casein.

Authentic British silver pieces feature official assay office hallmarks, including the sterling silver lion passant mark, a city mark, a date letter, and a registered makers mark.

Incorporate small silver objects by displaying them on top of stacked hardback books on a coffee table, bedside table, or within an open bookshelf setting.

Wipe the silver blade gently with a specialized silver polishing cloth, taking care to avoid harsh liquid polish near the handle joint or organic handle materials.
