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

Popular during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a vesta case is a small, portable box designed to carry friction matches, known as vestas, typically featuring a ribbed striking surface on the base.

These items were hand-crafted or die-stamped from sterling silver sheet, featuring a spring-loaded hinged top, engraved surface decoration, and an integral serrated ridge for igniting matches.

Authentic pieces carry official British assay office hallmarks stamped into the metal, indicating the silver purity, town of origin, makers mark, and date letter, accompanied by natural signs of wear near the striker.

Small antique silver collectables can be styled within a glass display dome, arranged on a desk tray alongside leather accessories, or added to a curated shelf display of metalware.

Maintain silver pieces by polishing gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver foam, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip decorative oxidisation from deep engraved lines.
