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 emerged in Britain during the early 18th century, evolving from writing cabinets into double-pedestal configurations designed for libraries and studies.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid hardwoods or veneers such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, often finished with inset leather writing surfaces and dovetail drawer construction.

Authentication relies on examining hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, period-correct brass hardware, and the presence of hand-tooled leather inserts.

Pairing a classic wooden desk with contemporary seating and minimalist lighting creates a balanced workspace that bridges historical craftsmanship with modern functionality.

Maintain timber finishes by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity, applying quality beeswax periodically, and protecting the leather surface from moisture.
