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

Classic French silver-plated serveware combines clear blown or moulded glass vessels with fitted electroplated nickel silver mounts, lids, or collar pourers. Popular throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, these pieces were designed for formal dining service to contain water, iced tea, or refreshments.

These pitchers typically feature a heavy glass body paired with nickel or brass alloy fittings coated in a layer of fine silver via electroplating. Lids often incorporate internal strainers, hinges, or decorative finials.

Authentic pieces generally feature stamped maker marks on the metalwork, including the full brand name or specific symbols such as scales flanked by initials or production balance marks. Check the underside of the collar or rim under direct light to locate these stamps.

Display the pitcher on a sideboard or bar cart alongside coordinating crystal glassware to create a structured beverage display. Alternatively, use it on a dining table or kitchen island as an understated vessel for fresh cut flowers.

Wash the glass interior by hand using warm water and mild dish liquid, taking care not to submerge the silver-plated elements for extended periods. Polish the metal mount periodically with a soft cloth and specialised silver cream to remove oxidisation without wearing down the plating.
