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

Popularised during the nineteenth century, a Victorian pedestal desk consists of a rectangular writing surface resting upon two free-standing pedestals containing vertical banks of drawers, separated by a central kneehole.

These pieces were typically crafted using dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, often featuring turned wooden drawer pulls or cast brass handles and brass lock mechanisms.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original locks with keyhole escutcheons, solid timber drawer linings, and natural age-related oxidisation on the underside and interior timber.

A classic pedestal desk works as a statement piece in a modern study when balanced with clean-lined architectural lighting, contemporary artwork, and an upholstered executive desk chair.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and retain its warm lustre.
