***IMPORTANT NOTE***

Dear customers,

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be on vacation from Saturday, 22nd August 2026 through to Wednesday, 26th August 2026, so the shop will be closed during this time.

If you have an order already in process, please rest assured I’ll be keeping a close eye on any messages relating to it - and I’ll address any issues as soon as I can. Items are still available to purchase, and all new orders received while I’m away will be processed promptly when the shop reopens on Wednesday, 26th August 2026.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Warmest wishes,

Jozef

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 note holders were produced as functional desktop items designed to secure loose papers, receipts, or correspondence using a spring-tensioned clip mechanism, often featuring decorative animal or figurative motifs.

Desk accessories from the 1920s frequently combined cast brass, bronze, or nickel-plated metals with hardwood bases such as oak, mahogany, or walnut.

Authentic pieces generally display natural surface oxidisation, hand-assembled components like small rivets or screws, and a weighted timber base crafted to prevent tipping during use.

A brass note clip can be placed on a desk, bookshelf, or console surface to display photographs, business cards, or daily reminders alongside stationery and leather-bound books.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip original patina from the brass, and treat the wood plinth periodically with a natural beeswax polish.
