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 Georgian period, sugar tongs were crafted to hygienically serve loaf sugar, which was sold in hard cones and broken into smaller pieces before placement on the tea table.

These tongs were forged from sterling silver, comprising 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability, often featuring hand-worked reeded or bright-cut decoration.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks stamped inside the bow or along the arm, including the monarch duty mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, the town mark, and the maker initials.

These silver items can be displayed alongside glassware on a bar cart, incorporated into formal table settings, or arranged inside a glass sideboard display case.

Clean silver gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialised, non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals, and store in tarnish-resistant cloth bags away from high humidity.
