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.

A French gilt bronze inkstand, or encrier, typically features cast bronze components finished with gilding, often mounted on fine marble or onyx bases, popularised during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for formal writing desks.

High-grade antique inkwells were commonly constructed using cast bronze, ormolu gilding, and carved natural marble, often incorporating glass or ceramic insert liners to hold liquid ink.

Authentic period pieces display detailed chasing work in the metal, hand-threaded assembly fittings, crisp foundry stamps or sculptor signatures, and natural wear to the gilded surfaces along contact areas.

Position the piece on an executive office desk, console table, or library bookshelf as a functional sculpted accent to add texture and historical weight to a contemporary workspace.

Dust softly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners or moisture on gilded surfaces, and seal the marble base periodically with a neutral marble wax to prevent staining.
