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

Popularised in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a match strike is a tabletop vessel designed to hold friction matches and provide a rough surface, such as ribbed or threaded glass, for igniting them.

These items are crafted from heavy moulded or threaded glass paired with sterling silver, silver plate, or brass mounts fitted around the upper collar.

Authentic British sterling silver examples feature official hallmarks stamped into the metal collar, including a purity mark, assay town mark, makers mark, and date letter.

Display the piece on a fireplace mantelpiece, coffee table tray, or desk alongside candles to add historical texture and practical function to the space.

Wipe the glass section with a damp microfibre cloth and polish the silver mount using a dedicated silver polishing cloth, taking care not to submerge the joins in water.
