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

A kneehole desk is a compact writing desk introduced in the early 18th century, characterised by a flat writing surface above a central recessed cupboard or open space flanked by vertical banks of drawers.

Traditional kneehole desks were crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, frequently finished with flame veneers, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces typically display hand-cut dovetail joints, original cast brass drop handles, age-related timber shrinkage along drawer linings, and natural wear around the kneehole arch and plinth base.

Position the desk in a home office or living room area paired with a contemporary desk chair, neutral wall tones, and modern desk accessories to create a balanced contrast between period craftsmanship and modern styling.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
