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

Art Nouveau desk accessories typically feature fluid, sinuous lines inspired by natural forms, including plant tendrils, waves, and organic contours. Emerging in the late 19th century, these pieces integrated functional desktop items such as inkwells and pen trays into cohesive, decorative forms crafted from metals like silver plate, bronze, or pewter.

Antique inkstands were manufactured using a variety of materials depending on the era and maker, including cast brass, electroplated nickel silver, solid sterling silver, cast iron, and ceramics. The ink receptacles themselves often featured glass, ceramic, or metal liners to protect the surrounding framework from ink corrosion.

Authentic pieces generally display period-correct makers marks, electroplate hallmarks (such as EPNS), or registration numbers stamped into the underside. Construction details like cast seams, hand-finished edges, original patina, and signs of genuine age-related oxidisation in recessed areas help distinguish period items from modern reproductions.

An antique deskstand can be integrated into a modern office, study, or hallway console table as a functional catch-all tray for keys and stationery. Placing the piece on a polished wooden desk alongside minimal contemporary books creates a balanced contrast between historic metalwork and clean modern lines.

Silver-plated surfaces should be cleaned gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and specialized silver polish designed for electroplated items to avoid wearing down the silver layer. Residue ink inside inkwells should be wiped clean with damp cotton buds, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might strip aged patina or tarnishing.
