All the locks now have working keys and the whole piece is in very good ready to use condition. Breaking down into three main pieces it will go through most doorways. All looking good and ready for the next 120 years.

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

A cylinder desk is a classical writing desk with a curved quarter-cylindrical shutter that rolls back into the casing to reveal a fitted writing area, popularised in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

These desks are typically constructed from mahogany, satinwood, or walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces, solid brass fittings, and fine timber crossbanding.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-sawn secondary timber linings, natural wear along the cylinder track mechanisms, period brass locks, and subtle surface patination consistent with age.

Position the desk as a focal feature in a home office or study, complemented by modern neutral wall tones, understated task lighting, and minimal desktop accessories to highlight the woodwork.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply high-grade beeswax sparingly to timber surfaces annually, and maintain stable ambient humidity away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer movement.
