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

Victorian novelty inkstands with equestrian motifs, such as horseshoes and jockey helmets, became popular desktop accessories in the late nineteenth century to reflect British sporting culture.

These items typically combined solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany with thick glass reservoirs and cast silver, brass, or nickel fittings.

Authentic pieces generally feature heavy moulded or cut glass, hand-turned timber bases, period-appropriate wear on the underside, and functional metal hinge mechanisms.

Position the piece on a writing desk, bookcase shelf, or console table alongside leather-bound books and brass items to create a classic focal point.

Dust the wooden base with a soft dry cloth and polish metal components with an appropriate non-abrasive metal cleaner, ensuring water does not soak into the timber.
