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

During the Edwardian period, silver-fronted or encased prayer and hymn book sets were produced as devotional gifts, frequently featuring embossed decorative motifs such as cherub heads and foliate scrolls.

These items typically consist of sterling silver covers or frames mounted onto morocco leather bindings, housing miniature printed paper volumes of church service texts.

Authentic pieces carry official British hallmarks stamped onto the silver, including a lion passant for sterling purity, an assay town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Compact silver objects can be styled on a nightstand, displayed within a glass vitrine, or placed atop a stack of books on a shelf to add texture and historical detail.

Clean the silver surfaces gently using a soft silver polishing cloth, avoiding contact with the leather, and store the item in a dry location away from direct sunlight.
