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 pedestal desk consists of a flat writing surface supported by two free-standing pedestals containing drawers, leaving a central kneehole space. Popularised in the 18th and 19th centuries, this configuration offers extensive storage and a substantial work surface for offices and studies.

High-quality antique desks often utilise solid mahogany or rich mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcass wood. Construction details typically include hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast brass hardware, and inset leather writing surfaces finished with blind or gold tooling.

Authentic early 20th-century desks display period-appropriate joinery, such as hand-cut dovetails, original lock plates often stamped by historic makers like Hobbs & Co, brass drop handles, and natural age-related wear inside the drawer linings and base rails.

An antique mahogany pedestal desk creates a striking focal point when paired with a contemporary leather desk chair, minimalist task lighting, and neutral wall tones to balance the deep, warm tones of the timber.

Preserve the finish by keeping the desk away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, and applying a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the wood grain.
