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

Popularised during the Victorian era, horn desk stands were functional desk accessories incorporating natural polished horn mounted with metal fittings, often holding ink reservoirs and candle sconces.

These pieces typically feature polished natural horn, silver-plated or solid brass mounts, and faceted cut glass or crystal reservoirs for holding ink.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural color variations and grain in the horn, period-appropriate hand-cut glass, and original soldered metal joinery or maker marks on the mounts.

Position the stand on an executive office desk, mahogany bureau, or library table alongside leather-bound books and traditional brass accoutrements.

Dust gently with a soft cloth, clean the glass inkpot separately with warm water, and polish silver mounts using a non-abrasive cloth while keeping harsh chemicals away from natural horn.
