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

Pedestal desks evolved from the bureau table in the 18th century, becoming staples in estate libraries, studies, and administrative rooms for estate managers and lords alike.

These desks are typically constructed from solid deal or Scots pine, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, brass drop handles or recessed campaign pulls, and solid panelled sides.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural timber shrinkage, hand-planed surfaces, irregular dovetailing, historic patination, and hand-forged or cast brass hardware rather than modern uniform screws.

Pair the warm timber tones with contemporary minimalist seating, sleek architectural lighting, and a neutral backdrop to create a balanced study space that highlights the desks historic character.

Maintain antique pine by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, applying traditional beeswax periodically to nourish the wood, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent splitting.
