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

Edwardian items, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, often combine practicality with refined craftsmanship, frequently utilising glass, leather, and plated metals for travel and study.

Period flasks typically combined heavy-gauge moulded glass for the body to contain liquids safely, fitted with leather sleeves or cases for grip and protection, and topped with metal or silver-plated caps.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate manufacturing marks, hand-stitched leather seams, age-related patination on the metal components, and heavier glass weights characteristic of early production methods.

Such pieces function well as display objects on study desks, within home bar setups, or arranged on open shelving alongside other historical artefacts and leather-bound books.

Keep items away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out and fading, gently dust the glass with a dry microfibre cloth, and periodically treat the leather with a neutral archival wax.
