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

Victorian kidney-shaped writing tables feature a distinctive curved front designed to allow the user to sit closer to the writing surface, a style popularised in the nineteenth century.

These tables typically feature burr walnut veneers over solid hardwood structures, hand-tooled leather writing inserts, brass hardware, and marquetry wood inlays.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, period brass locks or stamped maker marks, natural wear to the leather insert, and castors beneath turned or carved legs.

A kidney-shaped desk serves as a focal point in a home office, study, or positioned within a living room alcove as a functional workspace.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply beeswax to the timber to maintain lustre, and use specialised leather balm on the writing insert.
