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

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a process invented in the 18th century where a sheet of sterling silver was thermally fused onto a copper ingot before being rolled into sheets and worked into objects.

These pieces were typically crafted using stamped dies to form silver-clad copper sections, which were assembled, soldered, and often weighted internally with resin or pitch for stability.

Authentic items often show copper bleed-through along worn edges or raised areas, feature folded rims, and lack modern electroplating hallmarks, possessing inset silver shields for hand-engraved crests.

Pairing silver candlesticks with contemporary table linens, minimalist glassware, or placing them symmetrically on a fireplace mantel creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern design.

Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth and polish sparingly using a non-abrasive silver foam to prevent stripping the thin layer of fused silver from the underlying copper base.
