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.

FAQs

Edwardian furniture, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by lighter proportions, refined neoclassical influences, and a revival of earlier 18th-century designs such as Sheraton and Hepplewhite.

These pieces were typically constructed from fine hardwoods like mahogany, satinwood, and walnut, frequently featuring inlaid stringing, brass hardware, and inset tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentication relies on examining dovetail joints, wood oxidisation, hand-cut screws, and the natural wear patterns on the leather and timber consistent with early 20th-century manufacturing techniques.

Pairing a traditional wooden desk with modern minimalist seating or contemporary lighting creates a balanced focal point that bridges historical charm with functional modern workspace design.

Preserve the finish by keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying periodic applications of microcrystalline wax to the timber, and conditioning the leather surface with specialist balm.
