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.
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.
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.

A French sauciere is a specialized vessel designed for serving sauces and gravies during formal dining occasions, frequently featuring an attached or matching underplate to catch drips.

Gallia metalwork features a base metal alloy coated in a layer of electroplated silver, created to allow detailed sculptural casting and relief work.

Authentic pieces feature makers marks stamped on the base, including the Christofle name, specific hallmark symbols such as a chess piece or goat, or the Gallia collection emblem.

A silver sauce boat can be styled on a dining sideboard as a decorative accent, displayed on a kitchen dress shelf alongside glassware, or repurposed on a dressing table as a trinket dish.

Clean using a soft cotton cloth with silver polish formulated for plated metals, avoid abrasive pads, and store in low-humidity environments to minimize oxidisation.
