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

Clean the silver components gently with a specialized non-abrasive silver cloth while avoiding harsh chemical dips, and wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth.

This piece can be placed on a mantlepiece, coffee table, or desk as a refined decorative accent that highlights historical craftsmanship.

Authentic pieces usually bear clear British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, alongside period-appropriate glass characteristics such as hand-cut details or threaded surfaces.

These items typically feature blown or moulded glass bodies combined with hallmarked sterling silver mounts, rims, and strike bases.

Table vestas became prominent during the Victorian era due to the widespread availability of friction matches, necessitating safe and decorative containers for lighting fires, pipes, and cigars.
