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

Grape scissors emerged during the 19th century as specialised Victorian dining utensils. They were designed to cut small branches of grapes from a central bunch without damaging the remaining fruit or getting juice on diners fingers.

High-grade grape scissors are typically cast or forged from sterling silver or silver plate. The casting process allows for detailed decorative motifs, such as grapevines and foliage, to be incorporated into the handles.

Authentic British silver pieces feature official assay hallmarks, including a lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark indicating the assay office, a date letter representing the year of manufacture, and a makers mark.

Silver dining accessories can be displayed on a sideboard tray, incorporated into a dining table centrepiece arrangement, or placed on a bar cart alongside glass decanters.

Silver items should be polished regularly with a soft cloth and specialized silver polish to prevent tarnish. Wash by hand in warm soapy water, avoiding abrasive sponges, and dry thoroughly immediately after washing.
