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

Victorian desks are characterised by robust proportions, dark woods such as mahogany or walnut, and often feature detailed craftsmanship including hand-tooled leather writing surfaces and panelled drawer construction.

These pieces typically utilise solid mahogany, pine drawer linings, and hand-cut dovetail joints, accompanied by cast brass hardware and inset leather surfaces.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage consistent with age, original brass hardware, and hand-tooled leather inserts showing natural wear.

Pairing the dark wood with modern minimalist seating or placing it against a neutral wall creates a balanced focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern utility.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, clean periodically with a dry microfibre cloth, and condition the wood and leather surfaces with appropriate specialist waxes.
