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

Late Victorian walnut writing desks typically feature solid walnut or walnut-veneered construction, turned baluster legs, and often include a leather-inset writing surface decorated with gilt tooling. They commonly contain one or two frieze drawers for storage and sit on brass castors.

19th-century writing desks were crafted primarily from hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak. Inset writing surfaces were constructed using dyed gold-tooled leather or baize, complemented by brass drawer handles and metal castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut or early machine dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass castors, period-correct brass hardware, and natural timber wear around the base and drawer fronts.

An antique walnut writing table can serve as a functional workstation in a modern study or be placed behind a sofa in a living area as a console. Pair it with a modern desk chair or contemporary lighting to create visual contrast.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a beeswax polish occasionally following the grain. The leather inset requires periodic treatment with a specialized leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking, keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
