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

Vinaigrettes were compact containers popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, designed to hold a small sponge saturated with perfume or aromatic vinegar to neutralise foul air in public spaces.

These objects were typically crafted from sterling silver or gold, frequently featuring gilt interior surfaces to prevent acidic aromatic liquids from corroding the precious metal.

Authenticity is confirmed by inspecting official hallmarks stamped into the metal, which identify the purity mark, city assay office symbol, makers initials, and date letter.

Small silver items are often styled within glass display cabinets, arranged on bookshelf stacks, or positioned alongside trinket trays on sideboards to create textural contrast.

Clean gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals or submerging internal gilded parts in water.
