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

Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, Grand Tour inkstands were decorative desk accessories collected by European travellers visiting classical sites in Italy and Greece. These items typically feature Neoclassical motifs, classical relief scenes, and materials such as patinated bronze and marble.

19th-century inkstands frequently combined lost-wax or sand-cast patinated bronze with bases carved from Belgian black marble, slate, or porphyry. These materials provided weight and durability while showcasing detailed relief metalwork and polished stone surfaces.

Authentic pieces display detailed hand-chased bronze work, natural patination from age, and historically accurate Neoclassical imagery such as Greco-Roman figures or friezes. Inspection of the stone base often reveals hand-cut bevels and minor historical surface wear consistent with age.

A Neoclassical inkstand functions as an intellectual focal point on a modern writing desk, console table, or library shelf. Placing it alongside leather-bound books or modern brass desk accessories creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Dust the bronze gently with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that strip historical patina. Marble bases should be cleaned with a damp cloth and sealed with neutral microcrystalline wax to prevent staining.
