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 Victorian pedestal desk consists of a flat writing surface resting on two free-standing pedestals containing drawers. Typically crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, these desks feature central kneeholes and often include inset leather writing tops.

19th-century desks were commonly constructed using primary timbers like mahogany, oak, or walnut, lined with secondary woods such as pine or deal. Tops were frequently finished with gold-tooled leather skivers, while drawer pulls were executed in turned wood or cast brass.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass or steel locks, and natural wear around the kneehole and base. The reverse side and interior drawer linings often show hand-sawn timber marks and age-appropriate oxidation.

Anchor the desk in a home office or study as a functional focal point, pairing it with modern brass task lighting and an ergonomic or mid-century swivel chair. Balance the dark timber with neutral walls, contemporary artwork, and structured shelving.

Clean the mahogany timber regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Preserve the leather inset by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth and applying a specialised leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
