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 kneehole writing desk features a central open recess designed to accommodate the sitters legs, flanked on either side by pedestals or banks of drawers for storage.

Late Victorian cabinetmakers frequently crafted desks from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, embellishing drawer fronts with satinwood, boxwood, or rosewood marquetry inlays and fitting tops with gilded leather writing skivers.

Authentic late Victorian pieces display finely detailed hand-cut or early machine-cut joinery, dovetailed drawer construction, original brass drop handles, and Neoclassical revival marquetry motifs such as bellflowers, ribbons, and urns.

Position an antique mahogany desk as a focal point in a dedicated home office or library, pairing it with modern lighting, neutral walls, and contemporary seating to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax sparingly. Treat the leather skiver with a specialised leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking, avoiding direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.
