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 Louis XVI Revival furniture combines 19th-century British cabinet-making with 18th-century French decorative elements. These pieces feature rich wood veneers, such as burr walnut, alongside ebonised accents, delicate marquetry, and cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts depicting classical motifs.

High-end 19th-century pedestal desks typically utilise solid hardwood frames veneered with figured woods like burr walnut or mahogany. Secondary decorative materials include hand-chased brass or ormolu mounts, ebonised timber mouldings, and gold-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces feature natural variations in the wood grain veneer, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer construction, and hand-chased metal hardware. Look for honest age-related wear on the plinth bases and inside drawer linings rather than uniform modern machine cuts.

A Victorian pedestal desk creates a strong focal point in a contemporary home office or library setting. Pairing dark, detailed antique woodwork with neutral wall colours, modern lighting, and streamlined seating balances historical character with modern functionality.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the veneer patina. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators, and clean metal mounts using a dry, soft brush without abrasive chemical polishes.
