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.
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.
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.

Regency writing tables, produced in Britain between 1811 and 1830, typically feature balanced proportions, mahogany construction, turned or reeded legs, and functional mechanisms such as ratchet tops or drop leaves.

These tables were constructed primarily from solid and veneered mahogany, featuring brass castors, metal hinges, and carved wooden ratchet notches beneath the adjustable reading slope.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery in the interior compartments, original brass castors, turned leg profiles characteristic of the early 19th century, and age-appropriate wear to unvarnished undersides.

A compact ratchet top writing table functions as a console table in an entryway, an occasional side desk in a living room, or a dedicated reading surface in a bedroom corner.

Treat the timber with high-grade beeswax twice a year, position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and keep the internal mechanical tracks free of debris.
