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.

This is an antique picture frame dating from the 1900 period, representing the Art Nouveau style. The piece combines a stamped silver surround in a bright silver colour with a dark brown wooden backing and stand. The visible details include organic curves forming the outer outline, a cartouche crest at the top, and a wooden easel back. The frame is hallmarked for Birmingham 1904 with the silversmiths mark for Gourdel Vales and Company, and displays no inscriptions or monograms. Measuring 19 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, the frame sits suitably on a sideboard top in an English country house interior. The object holds a black and white photograph depicting a man outdoors holding a fishing rod. It fits naturally into a living room or study as a decorative desktop accessory, providing a period accent for displaying family photographs on a flat surface.

FAQs

Art Nouveau silver frames are characterised by sinuous lines, organic motifs, and decorative asymmetry popular from the late 1890s through the 1900s.

These frames feature a stamped sterling silver front sheet mounted onto a carved wooden backing with a fold-out easel support.

Authentic British pieces display official hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling purity, an assay office mark, and a date letter corresponding to 1904.

Position the frame on a dark oak console table, mantelpiece, or bookshelf to create visual contrast against the polished metallic finish.

Gently wipe the silver facade using a soft microfiber cloth and specialised silver polish while taking care to keep moisture away from the wooden backing.
