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

A faux book inkstand is a desktop writing accessory crafted to resemble a leather-bound book or stack of volumes, designed to house inkwells and writing tools discreetly within a study or library setting.

These items were typically constructed from a wood or card carcass clad in gilt-tooled leather, lined with hand-marbled paper, and fitted with clear glass inkwells featuring screw-top lids.

Authentic pieces from this era demonstrate genuine leather patination, classic geometric or traditional hand-tooled gilt borders, period-appropriate marbled paper linings, and original glass ink inserts.

Displaying the open box on an executive desk, library bookshelf, or hallway console table adds historical texture and visual interest when paired with understated contemporary stationery.

Dust the leather surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a thin layer of specialist leather preservative, while keeping moisture away from the interior marbled paper lining.
