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 writing desks, prominent during the 19th century, typically feature structured wooden frames, gold-tooled leather writing surfaces, and practical storage drawers for correspondence materials.

Cabinetmakers commonly utilised hardwoods such as burr walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, paired with gilded leather inserts, dovetail drawer joints, and solid brass castors.

Authentic furniture by Holland & Sons often features stamped maker marks on the drawer tops or locks, precise dovetail joinery, and timber veneers such as figured burr walnut.

A Victorian writing table functions as a focal desk in a dedicated home office or as a console table in a spacious hallway paired with modern lighting.

Maintain the piece by keeping it away from direct heat sources, applying beeswax to the woodwork along the grain, and conditioning the leather surface with a specialised leather balm.
