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

During the nineteenth century, refined sugar was sold in large blocks that required breaking down into smaller pieces, prompting silversmiths to create specialised tongs and spoons for afternoon tea service.

The flatware pieces are typically forged from sterling silver or silver plate, while the original fitted presentation cases are constructed from timber covered in leatherette and lined with silk or velvet.

Authentic pieces feature official assay hallmarks stamped into the surface, incorporating a makers mark, town mark, purity symbol such as a lion passant, and a date letter signifying the year of manufacture.

Displaying the open case flat on a dining room sideboard or bar cart showcases the internal fabric and silverwork, adding texture to a modern table display.

Gently polish the metal components using a soft cotton cloth and dedicated silver polish, taking care to prevent liquid cleaners from coming into contact with the silk and velvet linings.
