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 Victorian pedestal desk is a large writing desk featuring a flat rectangular top resting on two independent vertical banks of drawers, known as pedestals, separated by a central kneehole space.

These desks were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, frequently featuring decorative flame veneers, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and an inset leather writing surface.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces generally show hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass locks or wooden knob handles, castors recessed beneath the plinth base, and age-appropriate wear to the timber and leather top.

Pair the dark timber desk with modern task lighting, neutral wall colours, and contemporary art or a minimalist office chair to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying beeswax along the grain periodically; clean the leather writing surface with a specialised leather conditioner and keep the desk away from direct heat sources.
