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.

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

During the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s, desk accessories were crafted as luxury presentation pieces using semi-precious hardstones such as onyx, marble, and lapis lazuli. These items reflected geometric design principles and were popular status symbols for professional and personal studies.

High-end inkstands from this period frequently combined carved hardstones like onyx or agate with decorative inlays of lapis lazuli or malachite. Metal components, including collars, hinges, and ink container linings, were typically produced in sterling silver, electroplated nickel silver, or brass.

Authentic period pieces exhibit precise lapidary carving, natural stone inclusions or veining, and hand-fitted metal mounts. Silver mounts often carry makers marks or hallmarks, while the underside of the stone base may show light wear consistent with age and placement on wooden surfaces.

An antique stone inkstand serves as an architectural accent piece on an office desk, sideboard top, or bookshelf. Its geometric lines and natural stone textures pair effectively with dark wood writing tables, leather-bound books, and brass study lighting.

Clean hardstone surfaces using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid acidic, abrasive, or harsh chemical cleaners, as onyx is a soft, porous calcium-based stone susceptible to dulling, and gently polish metal fittings with a specialised cloth.
