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 flat-topped writing table introduced in the early 18th century, featuring a recessed central cupboard flanked by twin pedestals of drawers.

These desks were typically constructed from solid mahogany, walnut, or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, solid oak drawer linings, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic Georgian pieces feature hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass batwing or swan-neck handles, and natural surface wear consistent with historical use.

A kneehole desk functions effectively as a compact home office workspace, a hallway console table, or a bedroom dressing table in contemporary interior schemes.

Maintain mahogany furniture by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth, applying high-quality beeswax twice yearly along the wood grain, and keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
