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.

Mid-century Italian barware gained prominence during the 1950s as post-war entertaining and cocktail culture expanded throughout Europe. Manufacturers based around Milan, such as Macabo, produced functional metalware that combined practical beverage service with modernist sculptured forms.

These vessels were typically manufactured from base metals such as brass or copper before receiving a silver-plated or nickel finish. Accessories like draining spoons and handles were cast separately and soldered into place.

Authentic items produced by Macabo usually feature stamped makers marks on the underside, often reading Macabo or Made in Italy. Examining the weight, cast details of relief motifs, and construction of joinery aids in verification.

A silver ice bucket serves as an accented centrepiece on a modern bar cart, sideboard, or kitchen island. Combining polished metal reflective surfaces with dark timber or natural stone creates balanced visual contrast in entertaining spaces.

Washing with warm water and mild liquid soap removes surface residues, followed by immediate drying with a soft microfibre cloth. Applying a specialised silver polish periodically removes surface oxidisation without stripping the silver layer.
