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

Art Nouveau silver frames from the early 1900s feature organic, sinuous lines inspired by nature, incorporating floral patterns, insects such as butterflies, and flowing whiplash contours. Popularised between 1890 and 1910, these items moved away from rigid Victorian symmetry towards asymmetrical, naturalistic iconography.

Most early 20th-century silver frames consist of a thin sheet of embossed or repousse sterling silver mounted onto a sturdy wooden, velvet, or leather easel backing. The front hallmarked silver surface provides relief detail while the easel back allows stable tabletop placement.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmarks indicating silver purity, assay office symbol, date letter, and maker stamp. Genuine frames also display period-appropriate wear to the rear backing material and natural oxidisation within the recessed design areas.

Position the frame alongside modern ceramics, contemporary books, or layered artwork on a mantelpiece or sideboard top. The metallic patina adds warmth and historical depth without overwhelming modern minimalist colour schemes.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and polish cautiously using a silver polishing cloth, avoiding aggressive chemical dips that strip depth from low-relief detailing or damage backing fabrics. Keep away from high humidity to prevent accelerated tarnish and moisture damage.
