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

French Rococo and Louis XV style desks are characterised by slender cabriole legs, serpentine front profiles, hand-carved floral or acanthus leaf motifs, and ornate brass hardware.

These desks were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or beech, often finished with chalk or milk paint and fitted with cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, evidence of hand-carving along the apron and leg knees, original locks or brass escutcheons, and natural timber grain visible on unpainted structural elements.

A dark painted French desk pairs well with crisp contemporary wall tones, minimalist task lighting, and modern upholstery to create an understated contrast between historic shape and modern design.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical sprays. Keep the desk away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to protect the painted finish from fading or cracking.
