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

Victorian writing desks typically reflect the eclectic revival movements of the 19th century, often featuring sturdy construction, functional drawer layouts, and rich timber finishes such as mahogany or walnut.

Cabinet makers predominantly used dense hardwoods like mahogany, oak, and rosewood, frequently incorporating hand-tooled leather inserts on the writing surfaces alongside brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit period joinery techniques such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawer construction, traditional patina on the wood and leather, and appropriate wear consistent with age.

A period desk works effectively as a focal point in a home office or living space, paired with a minimalist modern chair to create a balanced contrast between old and new design elements.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax periodically to nourish the wood. Leather inserts should be cleaned with specialised leather conditioners rather than harsh chemical solvents.
