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

Victorian pedestal desks feature two vertical drawer units supporting a flat writing surface, designed to provide substantial storage for 19th-century offices and private studies.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, often featuring hand-tooled leather writing surfaces inset into the top.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut dovetail joints, brass keyhole escutcheons, solid timber drawer bases, and natural wood oxidation consistent with 19th-century manufacture.

Position the desk as a focal point paired with streamlined modern lighting and ergonomic seating to balance classic craftsmanship with modern functionality.

Apply clear beeswax to the oak woodwork periodically to protect the finish, and treat the leather writing surface with specialized leather balm to avoid drying and cracking.
