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.
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.

An antique desk stand, historically referred to as a standish, is a tray designed to hold writing instruments, inkwells, and occasionally wax-sealing accessories. Popular throughout the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras, these pieces served both practical writing functions and as decorative status symbols for executive desks.

Edwardian desk stands were predominantly constructed using solid sterling silver or silver plate, complemented by heavy cut-glass or crystal ink bottles. The metal components frequently feature cast feet, gadrooned borders, and recessed sections tailored for pens.

Authentic British Edwardian silver pieces bear official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a makers mark, a town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the 19011910 period. Genuine items also demonstrate hand-cut glass components and hand-engraved inscriptions.

A silver inkstand can be styled atop a dark wood desk, console table, or sideboard to introduce historical texture. It serves as a functional organiser for fountain pens and small desk stationery while acting as a focal point in a study or hallway.

Silver components should be maintained using a soft cloth and a specialized, non-abrasive silver polish, keeping chemical solutions away from glass inserts. Cut-glass inkwells should be hand-washed separately in warm, soapy water and thoroughly dried before replacing.
