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

During the Victorian era, metalworkers combined durable pewter alloys with natural decorative materials like tortoiseshell to create contrasting accents for desktop items and lighting fixtures.

Craftsmen softened organic tortoiseshell using heat and steam, moulding thin veneers around the metal central stem and securing them with metal wire or stepped collar bands.

Authentic Victorian pewter pieces typically display seam lines, soft metal wear, natural oxidisation, touchmarks or maker stamps on the base, and hand-fitted construction joints.

Position a pair on a fireplace mantel, sideboard, or dining table to add historical depth, pairing their dark patina with warm candlelight and natural wood textures.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes that can damage organic tortoiseshell, and keep out of direct heat or moisture.
