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

The rolltop desk evolved from 18th-century cylinder desks, gaining immense popularity during the Victorian era due to its ability to conceal paperwork and writing materials quickly beneath a slatted wooden tambour.

These desks were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers and flexible slats glued to canvas backing for the tambour mechanism.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, older secondary woods in drawer linings, traditional brass or cast-iron hardware, and natural signs of age and wear on the writing surfaces.

Pairing a traditional wooden desk with contemporary minimalist seating or placing it against a moody, saturated wall colour creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the craftsmanship of the antique.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying quality beeswax rather than silicone-based polishes.
