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

Originating in the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco furniture is characterised by geometric forms, streamlined silhouettes, rich wood veneers, and intricate decorative inlay work reflecting early twentieth-century modernism.

Art Deco desks typically feature figurative wood veneers such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, combined with geometric marquetry borders, dovetail drawer joinery, and decorative handles made from bone, bakelite, or metal.

Authentic pieces feature balanced geometric proportions, original period drawer pulls, natural hand-applied timber finishes, solid drawer linings, and integrated decorative marquetry rather than printed surface patterns.

An Art Deco desk functions as a functional focal point in a home office or bedroom, pairing effectively with contemporary task lighting, neutral wall palettes, and modern ergonomic seating.

Maintain inlaid timber surfaces by dusting regularly with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding direct sunlight or radiator heat sources, and applying a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.
