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.

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

A Champleve enamel tea caddy is a decorative storage container where cell-like recessed areas are carved or cast into a metal base and filled with vitreous enamel paste before firing and polishing.

These items typically feature a heavy cast brass or bronze body decorated with coloured glass enamel, often finished with glass, resin, or carved stone finials on the covers.

Authentic pieces display distinct weight from solid cast base metals, visible hand-chiseled borders, patinated metal surfaces, and minor irregularities in the vitreous enamel cell fills.

They serve as accent pieces on bookshelves, sideboards, or mantelpieces, pairing well alongside dark woods, leather-bound books, and brass decorative elements.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth; avoid abrasive metal cleaners or soaking in water, as chemicals and moisture can degrade the enamel and historic patina.
