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

Silver menu holders were placed on formal dining tables during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to display individual guest menus or place cards. They served both a practical organization purpose and a decorative function during multi-course meals.

These items were typically created using lost-wax casting or die-stamping for the decorative top section, which was then soldered onto a weighted or flat solid silver base equipped with a slot or clip mechanism to secure paper cards.

Authentic British pieces bear official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling purity, a city symbol (such as an anchor for Birmingham or a leopard head for London), a specific date letter, and a makers mark.

An antique silver menu holder can be repurposed on a modern desk to hold business cards or photographs, used on a sideboard to display dinner party menus, or showcased within a styled cabinet alongside other silver objects.

Clean sterling silver using a soft microfibre cloth and a dedicated silver polish, working gently into detailed casting to remove tarnish without stripping natural oxidisation in carved crevices. Store in acid-free tissue paper or a silver cloth bag to prevent tarnishing.
