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

Popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries, silver and mother-of-pearl dessert sets were designed specifically for eating fruit and sweet courses, preventing acidic fruit juices from reacting with base metals.

These sets typically feature solid sterling silver or silver-plated blades and prongs, iridescent mother-of-pearl shell handles, and a velvet-lined wooden storage canteen.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmark stamps on the silver blades or ferrules, indicating the maker, silver purity mark, assay office, and date letter corresponding to the George V era.

Display the open wooden canteen on a sideboard or buffet as a decorative accent, or lay the place settings alongside contemporary tableware during formal dinner courses.

Hand wash gently in warm water with mild soap and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Never submerge mother-of-pearl in hot water or clean it in a dishwasher.
