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 eighteenth century, characterised by a central recess for the legs flanked by side pedestals containing drawers.

Victorian kneehole desks were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or walnut, featuring gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces, oak or pine drawer linings, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass escutcheons or locks, natural patina or shrinkage marks in the wood, and solid drawer bottoms.

Position the desk against a modern neutral backdrop and pair it with an updated desk chair or contemporary task lighting to create a refined home office space.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish to the timber annually, and keep the leather surface conditioned while placing the furniture away from direct heat sources.
