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

A pyx is a small, portable container traditionally crafted from precious metals and used in Christian liturgical practice to carry consecrated communion wafers to the sick or housebound.

These items are predominantly fabricated from solid sterling silver, often featuring a gilded interior, known as vermeil, to protect the silver from reacting with communion wafers and to prevent tarnish.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmarks stamped into the metal, which include a makers mark, town mark, lion passant mark indicating silver purity, and a date letter signifying the exact year of manufacture.

Small silver vessels can be placed on a bedside table, dressing table, or desk tray to store delicate items such as rings and cufflinks, incorporating functional metalwork into modern vignettes.

Wipe the exterior silver surface gently with a dry, soft silver polishing cloth to remove oxidisation, taking care not to rub the internal gold gilding with abrasive cleaners to avoid wearing away the layer.
