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

Apply clear beeswax polish periodically along the wooden surfaces, and keep the canvas tambour track free from dust and debris without applying heavy oils that attract dirt.

Pairing a rich oak desk with a sleek modern task light, neutral walls, and contemporary seating creates an effective contrast between historical craftsmanship and current design.

Authentic pieces feature dovetailed drawer joints, original locks or keyholes on the top tambour rail, solid timber drawer bases, and age-consistent wear along the sliding tracks.

Traditional roll top desks were built using solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, with flexible wooden slats glued to canvas backing to form the curved tambour shutter.

The roll top desk evolved in the late nineteenth century as an efficient design for office organisation, featuring a flexible tambour door that pulled down to lock away paperwork.
