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

Kneehole desks first appeared in England during the late seventeenth century, designed to provide a compact workspace with integrated drawer storage flanking a central recess for the users legs.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring traditional joinery like dovetailing on the drawers and hand-turned wooden knobs or brass hardware.

Authentication involves examining construction marks, hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, patination on the wood surfaces, and period-appropriate locks and fixings.

Pairing a traditional wooden desk with modern minimalist seating creates a balanced study space that highlights the historical texture and warmth of the natural wood.

Maintain timber furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the wood.
