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

Nuremberg alms dishes are embossed brass platters produced primarily in Nuremberg, Germany, during the 15th and 16th centuries for ecclesiastical and domestic use.

These dishes were typically hammered from sheet brass, known historically as latten, and decorated using repousse technique, hand-chasing, and stamped punchwork along the rims.

Authentic Renaissance examples feature hand-hammered reverses showing tool marks, concentric bands of repousse motifs, and characteristic Gothic lettering or stylized floral scrolls.

Mounting an embossed brass dish on a wall creates a dramatic focal point, or it can be rested upright on a sideboard or mantelpiece to capture ambient light.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip historical patina, applying a light coat of microcrystalline wax if conservation is required.
