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

Sugar tongs emerged alongside the popularity of tea and coffee culture in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to hygienically pick up and serve individual refined sugar loaf cubes.

These utensils were typically cast or hand-hammered from sterling or high-grade solid silver, featuring spring hinges or arched tops connected to decorative stems and spoon or claw grips.

Authentic pieces usually display makers marks, purity hallmarks, or distinct regional casting details, alongside natural signs of wear, fine surface micro-scratches, and hand-finished joins.

Silver tongs can be displayed on a dining sideboard alongside silver tea services, incorporated into a glass-topped curation box, or repurposed as serving utensils for cocktail bar setups.

Clean gently using warm soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth, then apply a non-abrasive silver polish to remove oxidisation while preserving detailed engravings and decorative relief.
