Antique accessories occupy a unique position within the decorative arts, combining practical use with strong design across objects created for the desk, dressing table, smoking room, and home interior. Often produced in smaller quantities than traditional furniture or silverware, these objects frequently reflect changing tastes, new technologies, and evolving social habits.

At Mark Goodger Antiques, our accessories collection includes antique desk accessories, inkwells, clocks, table lighters, ashtrays, dressing table pieces, and other functional objects produced from the nineteenth century through to the Art Deco period, alongside a dedicated selection of cigar accessories including humidors, boxes and lighters. Materials range from glass and silver plate to bronze, marble, lacquer, wood, and mixed materials.

The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw major shifts in travel, leisure, and domestic entertaining, creating demand for smaller luxury objects that balanced practicality with strong visual design. Many of the finest examples were produced during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, when makers embraced bold materials, modern forms, and innovative construction.

Our accessories collection includes both decorative and highly practical objects, selected for condition, design, and originality. These pieces remain popular with collectors, interior designers, and buyers looking for unusual objects with genuine purpose.
