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

A vesta case is a small, portable container produced primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to carry friction matches, known as vestas. They kept matches dry and safe in a pocket, usually featuring a hinged lid and an integrated striker surface on the exterior.

Vesta cases were most commonly crafted from sterling silver, nickel silver, or brass. Higher-end figural examples often featured detailed repousse work, cast silver detailing, or enamel decoration.

Authentic silver pieces feature struck hallmarks typically located near the rim, collar, or interior lip. These marks include a makers mark, assay office stamp, standard mark confirming silver purity, and a date letter.

Novelty silver items function well as decorative desktop objects on an office desk, curated shelf displays, or styled alongside books and brass accessories in a cabinet of curiosities.

Silver should be cleaned gently using a soft, lint-free cotton cloth and specialist silver polish. Avoid harsh chemical dips or abrasive creams that can scrub away carved details or intentional oxidisation in low-relief areas.
