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.

A love spoon is a carved wooden, horn, or bone utensil traditionally crafted as a romantic gift or courtship token, featuring symbolic motifs and decorative engravings.

Historically, love spoons were carved from locally sourced hardwoods such as sycamore, oak, and boxwood, or crafted from organic materials like stag horn, bone, and antler using hand tools.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display natural surface patination, subtle hand-carving irregularities, original pigment in-filling in engraved lines, and wear consistent with age rather than uniform machine production.

Antique folk art spoons can be mounted inside shadow boxes, displayed on acrylic stands on bookshelves, or framed as part of a curated gallery wall of decorative historical artefacts.

Keep carved horn items away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and heat sources, dusting gently with a soft dry brush and avoiding water or chemical cleaning solutions.
