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

Stirrup cups were traditionally offered to riders on horseback before a hunt or departure. Collapsible versions evolved during the nineteenth century as compact campaign equipment, allowing travelers, military officers, and field sportsmen to carry a reusable drinking vessel in a pocket or saddlebag.

These drinking vessels were typically constructed from electroplated nickel silver, solid silver, or brass. Storage cases were usually fabricated from stiffened cardboard or wood wrapped in leather, often featuring velvet or paper linings to protect the metal finish.

Authentic period examples feature precision friction-fit concentric rings that seal tightly when pulled upwards to hold liquid. Look for period makers marks stamped into the base, signs of natural silver oxidisation in the crevices, and original fitted leather carrying cases with appropriate age-related wear.

Small antique barware items serve as functional accents on a wooden bar cart, desktop, or within a gentlemans library bookcase. Grouping metal travel cups alongside leather-bound books, vintage decanters, or brass desk accessories adds texture and historical context to living areas.

The metal should be gently wiped with a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, ensuring polish does not dry inside the joints of the concentric rings. Never submerge the original leather case in water; instead, clean the exterior with a dry microfibre cloth and store the piece in a dry climate to prevent corrosion.
