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.
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.

Art Deco inkwells produced during the 1920s and 1930s typically feature clean geometric forms, faceted lead glass bodies, and sterling silver mounts embellished with engine-turned linear patterns or minimalist motifs.

High-quality inkwells were commonly constructed using heavy lead cut glass or crystal bases paired with solid sterling silver, brass, or silver-gilt hinged lids to prevent ink evaporation.

Authentic English sterling silver pieces bear a full set of British hallmarks on the silver lid or collar, including the lion passant mark, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers initials.

An antique inkwell can be placed on an executive office desk, atop a stack of hardcover books on a bookshelf, or alongside traditional stationery on a sideboard top to add textual historical contrast.

Clean the silver lid gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals, while cleaning the glass portion with warm water and mild soap to remove historical ink residue.
