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.

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

Maintenance involves dusting with a soft, dry cloth, applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood and veneer, and avoiding direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent warping or cracking.

Pairing a heavy wooden pedestal desk with modern minimalist seating or placing it against a moody, neutral-toned wall creates a striking balance between historical character and contemporary design.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, hand-turned elements, aged patination on the timber, and hand-beaten or cast brass handles matching the manufacturing techniques of the 19th century.

These desks were typically constructed using a secondary softwood or hardwood carcase, faced with high-value decorative veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, and finished with brass handles, locks, and tooled leather skivers.

Victorian pedestal desks are characterised by their substantial proportions, rich timber selections like burr walnut or mahogany, and often feature inset leather writing surfaces accompanied by intricate brass hardware.
