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

A standish is a desktop station designed to hold writing instruments, letter paper, and inkwells. Commonly produced during the nineteenth century, these items kept correspondence essentials organised in domestic studies and commercial offices.

Victorian desk accessories typically featured solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut paired with cast or pierced brass fittings. Ink receptacles were generally constructed from heavy moulded or cut glass with metal hinged lids.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate joinery, natural oxidisation on brass components, and hand-finished wood grain. Look for original glass inserts with brass caps and Victorian brass gallery work featuring geometric or scroll motifs.

Place the piece on a home office desk, console table, or bookshelf as a decorative focal point. The inkwells can serve as small containers for stationery supplies, while the rear rack holds letters or business cards.

Dust the wooden structure regularly with a soft cloth and apply a thin layer of beeswax polish to preserve the original finish. Clean glass inkwells with warm water only, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the surrounding brass gallery.
