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

Biscuit barrels gained popularity during the mid-nineteenth century in Britain to preserve manufactured biscuits and serve them during afternoon tea as decorative dining table centrepieces.

Victorian biscuit barrels were typically made from clear or coloured cut glass, ceramics, or silver-plated metals, often combining glass bodies with electroplated nickel silver mounts.

Authentic Elkington pieces feature distinct makers marks stamped on the underside, including the Elkington & Co. name, shield symbols, and specific date letters corresponding to the year of manufacture.

An antique biscuit barrel can be placed on a sideboard top, a drinks trolley, or a kitchen island as an accent piece or functional storage container.

Wash the glass body gently using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding complete submersion of metal joints, and polish silver-plated sections with a dedicated silver cloth to remove oxidisation.
