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

Silver menu holders were placed on formal dining tables to display printed menus or individual guest name cards during multi-course meals.

The holders themselves were cast or struck from sterling silver, whilst presentation cases were constructed from wood covered in leatherette and lined with silk and velvet.

Authentic British pieces carry official hallmarks including the lion passant for sterling silver, an assay office symbol such as the Birmingham anchor, a specific date letter, and a registered makers mark.

These decorative items can be repurposed on contemporary dining tables to hold place cards, display small artwork, or function as decorative accents on a sideboard.

Silver should be cleaned periodically with a soft silver-polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips or moisture exposure that could damage plush case linings.
