Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

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.
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.
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.

Historically, silver-plated domed boxes served as functional storage on dressing tables, credenzas, and writing desks. They were designed to hold jewellery, cufflinks, trinkets, stamps, or small personal items while acting as decorative accents.

These boxes are constructed using base metals such as nickel silver, brass, or copper, which are electroplated or fused with a thin layer of fine silver. Decorative borders, such as rope-twist or gadrooned banding, were soldered onto the body and lid during assembly.

Authentic silver-plated items usually feature makers marks, electroplate stamps (such as EPNS or EPBM), or numerical codes stamped into the base. Wear around high-touch areas where the underlying base metal shows through, known as bleeding, also indicates genuine age and use.

Silver-plated boxes can be styled on a bedside table, desk, or sideboard stack alongside leather books and ceramic vessels. The reflective metallic finish provides texture and balance against matte wooden or stone surfaces.

To preserve silver plate, clean gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the thin layer of silver electroplating from the base metal.
