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.

This Edwardian sewing kit comes complete inside a fitted, dark blue leather-bound oval case with a cream velvet lining and gold-tooled border. The set includes a pair of steel scissors with engine-turned silver-plated handles shaped with scrolled loops, a matching thimble, a needle case, and a slender bodkin, all finished in polished silver with textured engraved patterns. The exterior case features initials stamped on the lid and displays minor surface scuffs and stains from age, while the interior items present a clean appearance. Today, collectors place this fitted set on an office desk, dressing table, or vanity surface to display traditional English craftsmanship. The compact container measures approximately 13 cm in width, holding the complete collection of miniature sewing tools securely in place for decorative display or occasional use.

FAQs

An etui is a small, portable case designed to carry essential personal implements, particularly needlework tools such as scissors, thimbles, bodkins, and needle cases.

Edwardian sets frequently combined sterling silver handles and containers with high-carbon steel blades for scissors, housed inside leather-bound cases lined with velvet and silk.

Authentic period pieces feature British hallmark stamps indicating the silver purity, city assay office, makers mark, and date letter alongside crisp engine-turned or chased surface decoration.

These compact items function well displayed open inside a glass display dome, styled on an office desk, or placed on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes.

Clean silver components gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or light silver polish, avoiding moisture on steel scissor blades or silk-lined display cases.
