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

Originating in the nineteenth century, mounting horse hooves in silver became a popular practice in Great Britain to commemorate favoured hunting or military horses. These pieces were commissioned from silversmiths to serve as functional desk items, such as inkwells, match strikers, or paperweights.

These items consist of a preserved natural horse hoof fitted with sterling silver or silver-plated components. The metalwork often includes a flat lid, a decorative collar, an arched handle, and a horseshoe base fitted to the underside.

Authentic period examples feature British silver hallmarks stamped into the metal casing or lid. Additionally, the natural striations and composition of genuine horn, combined with period silversmithing techniques, distinguish authentic items from modern reproductions.

These historical objects function well when placed on executive desks, library shelving, or accent tables within traditional or eclectic interior schemes. They provide visual texture when grouped with leather-bound books and brass desk items.

The silver components should be polished using a soft cloth and dedicated silver cleaner, avoiding contact with the organic hoof material. The horn base should be kept away from direct heat sources and occasionally wiped with a dry microfiber cloth to prevent drying out or splitting.
