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

Victorian sterling silver photo frames from the late nineteenth century frequently featured ornate repousse and chased decoration, depicting scrolling foliage, cherubs, and asymmetrical cartouches inspired by Rococo revival design.

These frames were crafted by stamping or hand-hammering thin sheets of sterling silver into intricate reliefs, which were then mounted onto easel-backed wooden or velvet-covered supports.

Authentic British sterling silver frames bear full official hallmarks stamped into the silver, including a lion passant mark for silver purity, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Position the frame on a mantelpiece, bedside table, or layered within a curated bookshelf arrangement to add metallic texture and historical character to contemporary decor.

Gently wipe the silver surface with a soft silver-polishing cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh liquid dip cleaners that can damage or discolour the velvet backing.
