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

In the nineteenth century, specialized sterling silver serving tongs were designed for formal dining to serve items such as asparagus, pastries, or chops without direct hand contact.

Late Victorian serving tongs were crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring pierced or slotted blades to allow liquids to drain, attached to a spring mechanism or hinged handles.

Authentic pieces carry British silver hallmarks, including a lion passant for sterling quality, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark stamped into the metal surface.

These servers can be displayed on a dining sideboard inside a glass cabinet, presented on a silver tray, or utilized during formal entertaining.

Wash gently by hand in warm soapy water using a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive pads or dishwashers, and apply specialized silver polish to manage natural tarnish over time.
