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.

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

Miniature trowel-shaped page markers became popular novelty desk accessories during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The trowel design allowed the flat silver blade to slide easily between pages without causing damage to the paper bindings.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often featuring hallmarks on the blade or collar. Handles were frequently made from contrasting natural materials such as polished green jade, nephrite, mother-of-pearl, or carved bone.

Authentic pieces feature official British silver hallmarks detailing the maker, purity mark, assay office, and date letter stamped directly onto the metal. The join between the silver collar and the gemstone handle should be securely fitted, showing age-appropriate patination.

Novelty silver markers can be styled decoratively on an office desk, displayed inside a glass specimen box, or placed atop a stack of hardback books on a coffee table or bookshelf.

Clean the silver gently using a soft silver polishing cloth, avoiding chemical dips that can damage natural stone handles. Store the piece in a dry environment to prevent rapid oxidisation and protect the stone from accidental drops.
