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

A pedestal desk consists of a flat writing surface supported by two vertical columns or pedestals containing drawers, leaving a kneehole space in the centre. First popularised in the eighteenth century, these desks offered substantial storage and robust construction for library or office environments.

High-quality pedestal desks feature solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often constructed with hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers. The writing surface typically incorporates inset tool-gilded leather or skiver to protect the timber underneath.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples usually feature hand-dovetailed drawer linings, cast iron or brass castors, original locks with keyholes, and solid timber back panels. Examining the underside and drawer construction often reveals hand-tooling marks consistent with original period craftsmanship.

Position the desk as a focal point in a dedicated home office or library space, pairing it with contemporary task lighting and an ergonomic leather chair. Combining classic timber tones with minimalist modern accessories balances the substantial visual weight of the piece.

Maintain the mahogany with regular applications of high-grade beeswax polish, buffing along the grain. Clean the inset leather top using a slightly damp cloth followed by specialised leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking, avoiding direct sunlight or proximity to radiators.
