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

Grape shears, also known as grape scissors, are specialised dining utensils designed during the nineteenth century to sever individual bunches of grapes from a larger stem cleanly without damaging the fruit.

These items were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver or durable silver plate, frequently featuring hardened steel inserts inside the blades to maintain a sharp cutting edge against tough vine stems.

Authenticity can be verified by checking for official maker marks, silver purity hallmarks such as the lion passant on British silver, and signs of hand-chased or cast decorative detailing along the handles.

They can be displayed on a dining room sideboard tray, paired alongside a modern cheese board presentation, or stored within a glass-fronted cabinet as part of a silver collection.

Wash them by hand using mild soapy water, dry immediately with a soft cloth, and remove natural tarnish periodically using a dedicated silver polishing cloth rather than abrasive polishes.
