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

An Edwardian desk clip was designed to sit on a writing table or desk to secure loose papers, incoming correspondence, or notes in place with a spring mechanism.

These items were typically constructed with sterling silver or silver-plated frames, frequently incorporating tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, or polished hardwood panels mounted on a spring-loaded metal base.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmarks stamped into the silver, including a makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling quality, and a specific date letter corresponding to the Edwardian era between 1901 and 1910.

An antique desk clip can be styled on a home office desk, console table, or library shelf to organize business cards, display small artwork, or hold incoming mail.

Silver should be buffed gently with a soft silver-polishing cloth, taking care not to allow chemical polish to contact organic materials like tortoiseshell, which should be kept away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
