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 inkstand, historically referred to as a standish, is a tabletop tray or stand designed to hold inkwells, dip pens, and blotting accessories, widely used prior to the invention of modern fountain pens.

Desk stands were primarily constructed from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and rosewood, frequently accented with ebonised trim, brass mounts, and clear moulded glass inkwells.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display period construction indicators including hand-dovetailed drawer joinery, heavy hand-pressed glass wells, natural wood patination, and minor wear around the pen channels.

A wooden inkstand can be positioned on an office desk, console table, or library shelf to serve as a characterful accent piece while functioning as a holder for stationery and small items.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying natural beeswax polish, while glass inkwells should be removed and gently washed with lukewarm water and mild soap.
