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

During the 1920s and 1930s, desk accessories transformed into decorative luxury items influenced by modernism, geometric forms, and high-end craftsmanship. Makers incorporated materials such as coloured glass, sterling silver, and Bakelite to create functional office objects tailored to executive interiors.

Glass desk rulers from the early twentieth century typically featured solid moulded or hand-blown glass rods paired with metal end caps. Sterling silver, nickel, or brass caps were applied to protect the ends and add structured ornamentation.

Authentic pieces generally display official assay hallmarks stamped onto the silver end caps, indicating the silver purity, makers mark, and date letter. Additionally, period glass exhibits distinct manufacturing characteristics, such as specific colour tones and slight hand-finished irregularities.

A vintage glass ruler serves as an ideal accent piece when set across a stack of design books, displayed on a leather blotter upon an executive office desk, or arranged inside a glass display cabinet alongside vintage stationery items.

Dust the glass rod gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Clean the sterling silver end caps using a specialized silver polishing cloth, taking care not to submerge the piece in water to prevent liquid from entering the join between the silver and glass.
