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

Miniature silver items, historically known as cabinet silver or silver toys, gained widespread popularity across Europe from the seventeenth century onwards, serving as decorative collectables and status symbols rather than functional toys.

Edwardian silver miniatures were crafted using techniques such as casting and repousse embossing, featuring relief patterns, floral scrolls, and figural scenes struck in sterling silver.

Authentic pieces carry hallmark stampings indicating silver purity, city of assay, makers marks, and date letters, which can be verified against official assay office registers.

Small cabinet silver pieces display well within glass curio cabinets, arranged on bookshelf displays, or set atop decorative trays on console tables to add intricate metalwork details.

Gently wipe the surface with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a specialist silver polish sparingly using a fine-bristled brush to remove oxidisation from recessed embossing without causing abrasive wear.
