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

French Louis XVI style desks are characterised by classical symmetry, straight lines, fluted tapered legs, and decorative brass or bronze mounts. They frequently feature rectangular forms, leather writing surfaces, and detailed timber marquetry or veneers.

Desks produced around 1900 in France commonly utilised solid mahogany, walnut, or oak framework with fine veneers such as kingwood or satinwood. Writing surfaces were typically inset with gold-tooled leather, complimented by cast brass or ormolu hardware.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass cast fittings with natural oxidisation, and hand-tooled leather surfaces. Examining the underside and back panels for hand-planed timber and period-appropriate wear also aids verification.

Position the desk near natural light sources or centrally in a study to highlight its architectural silhouette. Pair it with a modern desk chair or neutral soft furnishings to create a balanced blend of historical and contemporary elements.

Dust the wood and leather regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Treat the leather insert occasionally with a specialised leather balm to prevent drying and cracking, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and strong heat sources.
