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

Victorian style spans the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and is characterised by a revival of historicism, rich wood grains like burr walnut and mahogany, and robust construction suited for formal studies and libraries.

These pieces typically feature solid timber carcasses overlaid with decorative wood veneers such as burr walnut, joined using traditional dovetail joints on drawers and fitted with brass hardware.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage consistent with age, period-appropriate locking mechanisms, and the distinctive natural figuring found in genuine burr walnut veneers.

Pairing a richly figured historic desk with minimalist modern seating or placing it against neutral walls allows the intricate wood grain to serve as a focal point in a contemporary study or home office.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the surface without leaving a heavy buildup.
