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

Gillows of Lancaster and London was a premier English furniture manufacturing firm active from the 18th century, renowned for high-grade cabinetmaking, turned column legs, fine timber veneers, and practical writing tables.

Victorian writing desks were constructed using solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, frequently finished with hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, dovetailed drawer linings, and brass fittings.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original locks, hand-carved decorative motifs, solid timber construction, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

An antique walnut desk can serve as a functional central desk in a modern home office or library, complemented by contemporary task lighting and minimalist seating.

Keep the desk clear of direct sunlight and heat sources to protect the wood finish, dust regularly using a soft dry cloth, apply beeswax sparingly, and clean the leather skiver with specialist products.
