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.
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.
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.

Produced during the early nineteenth century, Regency kneehole dressing tables typically feature mahogany construction, symmetrical pedestals of drawers flanking a central recessed alcove, and refined classical carved details such as rope-twist pilasters or decorative spandrels.

Craftspeople predominantly used solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, valued for their deep grain pattern and durability, alongside brass or turned timber handles, pine or oak drawer linings, and hand-cut dovetail joinery.

Authentic Regency pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetails on timber drawer linings, hand-turned timber knobs or brass ring handles, natural age-related oxidisation in timber interiors, and original construction marks on unpolished backboards.

A Regency kneehole desk can serve as a functional writing table in a home office or library, or be styled with contemporary table lamps and artwork as a statement console piece in a bedroom or hallway.

To preserve mahogany finishes, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding modern aerosol sprays, direct sunlight, and heat sources that cause timber shrinkage.
