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 Victorian pedestal desk consists of a flat writing surface resting upon two vertical structures containing drawers, known as pedestals, separated by a central kneehole space.

These desks were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, frequently featuring gold-tooled leather inserts on the writing top and hand-dovetailed drawer boxes.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut dovetail joints, cast brass or turned wooden handles, original lock plates, and natural age-related wear to the timber finish and leather insert.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office or library, pairing it with modern lighting and minimalist seating to balance the weight of the traditional timber.

Maintain the timber by applying beeswax along the grain twice a year, and clean the leather writing insert with a soft, slightly damp cloth while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
