"Hats off to Bassetlaw Silver and Antiques for their excellence in service and customer relations! David went the extra mile to make sure that I was able to purchase a beautiful samovar that would have been impossible to get. Had he not taken the extra steps to prepare the piece so that it could go through customs with no problem, I would not have the beautiful piece I do today. The item arrived extremely well packed and much faster than I expected! It is an amazing addition to my collection, and unlike any other that I have seen. His items seem to be, for the most part, a bit more rare and beautiful than most antique sites, and he presents them in such a way that you know everything about the piece, almost intimately, because he takes such wonderful pictures and documents the items so that there are no surprises. I will continue to shop his store and reach out to him when I am inspired to purchase once again, which I am sure will be in the near future. Wonderful experience all the way around! I feel so lucky to have found his website and dealt with him in order to bring this amazing item into my home!"

"This was my first time shopping online for feather-edge teaspoons and I found and bought a set of six George III examples from David at Bassetlaw Silver & Antiques. The transaction was very smooth and the spoons looked exactly as they were shown in the photos. They arrived very quickly, well-wrapped in a box and the shipping costs to Canada were reasonable. I will be keeping David in mind the next time I am looking for antique silver."

"It could not have been more pleasurable to navigate around the Bassetlaw website nor easier to place my order. The attention to detail, personal service from dispatch to delivery and the care with which the item was parcelled have guaranteed my future custom. Thank you Bassetlaw for your superb service."

"As soon as my postman handed me a parcel from Bassetlaw Silver & Antiques I knew, by the high standard of the packing, that I was in for something good.
I have been an avid collector of interesting antiques for over 50 years and I have purchased hundreds of items from all over the world, but David of Bassetlaw has provided me with the highest level of quality, value and service that I have ever received."

"I'm a collector of early Sheffield Plate and have bought a number of choice pieces from David (Bassetlaw Antiques). My most recent being an 18th century first period coffee pot. I've found David to be very helpful and attentive, and has always provided a great service.
"I had long been admiring a handsome pair of Sheffield plate candlesticks on the excellent Bassetlaw website and finally decided to send an e-mail in order to confirm they were still available. I’ve always had very positive experiences with British sellers and Bassetlaw was no exception. From the beginning the service was exemplary. Not only did David answer my questions very carefully, but he also took the time to send additional photographs showing the candlesticks in greater detail. When I purchased them, he refunded the difference in the shipping fees which made a considerable difference in the overall cost. They arrived by courier in less than a week. The box was expertly packed and even contained a nice letter of thanks - a very gracious gesture. The candlesticks exceeded my expectations and are among the finest in my collection. I can’t praise Bassetlaw Silver and Antiques highly enough for such an outstanding buying experience."

"I recently purchased an item from Bassetlaw Silver and
Antiques for the first time, having found it on their website.
From start to finish the purchase process was simple and dealt
with in a helpful and friendly manner. I was able to discuss
the item by phone and it was delivered promptly, within the
time promised. It fully met the description on the site. I was
impressed by the personal touch throughout."

"The recent purchase of a Sheffield silver plated salver was
a very positive experience. The item was shipped on the first
business day after the purchase. It was expertly packaged,and
arrived the following day.
The item as accompanied by a personal note and professional
verification of the heraldic family crest which was engraved
on the salver.
I would not hesitate to explore Bassetlaw and Silver
Antique's impressive catalogue on another occasion."
