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

Popularised during the Second Empire in mid-to-late 19th-century France, Louis XV Revival furniture revisited the curvilinear silhouettes, floral marquetry, and elaborate bronze mounts characteristic of 18th-century French Rococo design.

These desks were typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as walnut, kingwood, or rosewood veneers, accented with hand-cut floral marquetry inlays, cast bronze (ormolu) mounts, and tooling-embossed leather writing surfaces.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut veneer joinery, cast gilt-bronze mounts fixed with original screws, hand-dovetailed drawer construction, and natural age-related oxidisation on the timber and metalwork.

A marquetry writing desk functions effectively as a focal feature in a home study, living room alcove, or bedroom dressing area, pairing well with contemporary minimalist seating to contrast historic craftsmanship against clean lines.

Maintain stable humidity to prevent veneer lifting, clean the wooden surfaces with specialized beeswax polish, avoid direct sunlight exposure, and clean metal mounts gently using a dry soft cloth without harsh chemical abrasives.
