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 19th-century pedestal desk typically features a rectangular top supported by two banks of drawers, offering symmetrical storage and a central kneehole space for a seated user.

These pieces were primarily constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, often incorporating secondary timbers like pine for drawer linings and internal framing.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, timber shrinkage consistent with age, and hand-turned wooden knobs or brass hardware.

Pair the desk with a minimalist, modern chair to create a striking contrast between historical craftsmanship and clean, contemporary lines within a study or home office.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, applying traditional beeswax periodically to nourish the grain and protect the finish.
