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

Novelty silver accessories from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries frequently featured naturalistic animal forms, combining practical utility with decorative cast figures.

High-grade examples were constructed from sterling silver or silver plate, incorporating a solid cast terminal or finial secured to a flat, tapered blade.

Authentic silver pieces feature struck hallmarks, typically including a makers mark, town mark, sterling purity symbol, and date letter on the surface of the metal.

The item can be positioned on a stack of hardcover books or set within a leather desk organizer to function as a functional styling piece in a home office.

Gently wipe the surface using a soft microfibre cloth and a dedicated silver polish, avoiding abrasive materials that could erode cast surface details or hallmarks.
