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

In nineteenth-century social etiquette, visiting cards were presented upon entering a home or left to record a formal visit. Calling card cases were designed to protect these paper cards from damage while in transit.

Victorian silver card cases were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often decorated using techniques such as engine turning, hand engraving, chasing, and die-stamping to create precise geometric or floral patterns.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmark stampings, which typically include the lion passant for sterling purity, an assay town mark (such as Birminghams anchor), a date letter code, and the makers initials.

Modern owners often use historical card cases to hold contemporary business cards, display them flat or on small easel stands on office desks, or integrate them into flat-lay photography displays.

To preserve silver surfaces without causing wear to sharp engraving details, wipe gently using a specialised silver polishing cloth. Avoid abrasive creams and chemical dips that strip natural oxidisation from low-relief details.
