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

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and periodically nourish the surface with a quality microcrystalline wax rather than modern silicone polishes.

Pair the rich wood tones with a minimalist, contemporary chair to create a striking contrast, allowing the traditional craftsmanship to stand out as a focal point in a study or living space.

Authenticity is verified by examining the secondary timbers, hand-cut joinery, age-appropriate patina, maker stamps or stamps on drawer locks, and the natural oxidisation of the brass fittings.

These pieces were meticulously crafted from dense hardwoods like rosewood or mahogany, incorporating hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, solid brass hardware, and hand-tooled leather inserts.

Nineteenth-century desks often feature refined proportions, tiered superstructures with pigeonholes and drawers, inset leather writing surfaces, and intricate marquetry or wood grain patterning.
