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 travelling inkwell is a compact, portable container designed during the 18th and 19th centuries to securely transport liquid ink without leaking during journeys.

They typically feature a heavy cut glass or crystal base fitted with a sterling silver cap that has been gilded with fine gold, often incorporating a spring mechanism and internal seal to prevent leakage.

Authentic George IV pieces bear a full set of British hallmarks, including the monarchs profile duty mark, a lion passant for sterling silver, a date letter, and a makers mark, alongside natural gilding wear on raised contact areas.

Place an antique inkwell on a modern executive desk, stacked atop decorative hardback books, or styled alongside contemporary stationery accessories to create a refined focal point.

Clean the glass base with warm water and mild soap while avoiding harsh chemicals on the metal lid, which should only be dusted gently with a soft microfibre cloth to protect the gold layer.
