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

19th-century French revival desks often draw inspiration from 18th-century Louis XV and Louis XVI designs, featuring slender cabriole or tapered legs, marquetry veneers, polished leather tops, and elaborate gilt-bronze mounts.

These tables are traditionally constructed from fine hardwoods such as kingwood, rosewood, or mahogany, decorated with cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) fittings and inset with tooling-embossed leather writing surfaces.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display precise cabinetmaking techniques, high-quality chased ormolu mounts with hand-finishing, aged patination on metalwork, and natural wear along drawer runners and understructures.

A compact French writing table functions as an accent desk in a study, a console in an entrance hallway, or a dressing table in a bedroom, pairing well with understated modern seating to highlight its silhouette.

Wood surfaces should be dusted with a dry soft cloth and periodically treated with neutral beeswax. Gilt-bronze mounts require gentle dusting without harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the gilded finish.
