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

Edwardian kidney-shaped desks feature a curved, concave front designed for comfortable access to the writing surface and drawers. They frequently incorporate mahogany or satinwood timbers, delicate marquetry or stringing inlay, and leather-inset tops.

Cabinetmakers during the Edwardian period predominantly used mahogany, satinwood, and rosewood. Tops were commonly inset with gilded leather, while drawer pulls were crafted from solid brass.

Authentic Edwardian pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, boxwood or satinwood stringing, and cast brass hardware. The timber surfaces often demonstrate natural patination and light wear around the handles and feet.

Position the desk away from walls to highlight its fully finished curved back. Pair it with a neutral armchair or modern desk lamp to create a balanced mix of historical craft and modern design.

Keep the leather clean by wiping it with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a specialist leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Protect the surface from direct sunlight and avoid placing hot objects directly on the insert.
