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

A kneehole desk is a compact form of cabinet furniture developed in early 18th-century England, characterized by a flat top drawer above two vertical banks of smaller drawers framing a central recessed cupboard or open cavity.

These desks were typically constructed using figured walnut or mahogany veneers laid over secondary timbers like pine or oak, fitted with hand-cut brass backplate handles and escutcheon plates.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, crossbanded edge details, featherbanded drawer fronts, original bracket feet, and natural uneven shrinkage across the timber surfaces.

Due to their modest proportions, kneehole desks function effectively as compact laptop desks in home offices, as side console tables in reception rooms, or as traditional dressing tables in master bedrooms.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality clear beeswax paste once or twice a year, avoiding modern spray polishes, direct sunlight, and placement near heat sources.
