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

Desk blotters from the late Victorian and Art Nouveau eras were functional desk accessories designed to hold blotting paper for absorbing excess ink from dip pens, often featuring decorative embossed metal central panels.

These folders typically feature repousse or stamped copper relief plaques mounted onto a leather or cloth-bound card structure.

Authentic pieces show age-appropriate wear to the leather edges, natural oxidisation on the metalwork, and period-specific decorative motifs such as theatrical, mythological, or organic Art Nouveau designs.

Place the blotter flat on a dark wood executive desk or console table alongside vintage brass desk lighting and leather-bound books to create a focused study atmosphere.

Dust the copper panel gently with a dry microfibre cloth to maintain its patination, avoiding chemical polishes, and treat the leather borders with a mild leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
