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

Knife rests were developed during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to prevent grease and food residue on carving knives from staining linen tablecloths during multi-course meals.

Antique knife rests were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), cast iron, cut glass, ceramic, or mother-of-pearl.

Authentic pieces usually display makers marks or EPNS stamps on the underside of the base or crossbar, alongside signs of hand-chasing, cast detailing, and age-appropriate wear to the silver plating.

They can be integrated into contemporary tablescapes alongside modern cutlery and linen napkins to add architectural structure and contrast to formal or celebratory dinner settings.

Clean silver-plated knife rests gently using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips or dishwasher use which can strip the thin layer of silver plate.
