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

Hooked honey spoons feature a distinct notch or bend in the handle designed to allow the spoon to hang securely from the rim of a jar or pot. This construction prevents the utensil from slipping into syrup, honey, or preserves, keeping the handle clean and allowing excess liquids to drip back into the container.

These items were predominantly cast or forged in sterling silver, comprised of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Higher-end pieces often featured cast decorative handles with Celtic knotwork or foliage motifs.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces bear official hallmarks struck by an assay office, including the lion passant mark for sterling purity, an assay office symbol, a specific date letter corresponding to 1955, and a makers mark.

Display the spoon alongside earthenware honey pots, crystal jam jars, or curated breakfast trays to add a touch of heritage craft. It functions both as an active serving piece for morning dining and as a decorative accent on a sideboard.

Wash silver by hand in warm water using mild dish soap, drying immediately with a soft cloth to avoid water spots. Periodic light polishing with a non-abrasive silver cloth removes oxidisation and preserves detailed relief carving.
