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

First appearing in England during the early eighteenth century, the kneehole desk was designed as a compact, dual-purpose piece used both as a writing cabinet and a bedroom dressing table. Its defining feature is a central recessed area flanked by vertical banks of drawers, allowing the user to sit comfortably.

Authentic Georgian examples were typically constructed using solid mahogany or rich flame mahogany veneers laid over pine or oak carcases. High-quality brass swan-neck or drop handles were standard, alongside solid oak drawer linings.

Look for hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, hand-planed back panels, original cast brass hardware, and a natural patinated finish. Authentic eighteenth-century pieces often include a small recessed cupboard behind the kneehole area for storage.

Place the desk against a modern neutral backdrop and pair it with a streamlined contemporary chair or sleek task lamp to create an engaging balance between historic craftsmanship and modern functionality.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying beeswax sparingly once or twice a year, working in the direction of the wood grain. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent warping or drying.
