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

Early 20th-century Georgian Revival desks emulate 18th-century English cabinetmaking, characterised by straight legs, brass drop handles, and leather writing surfaces inset into hardwood frames.

These writing desks are commonly constructed from solid mahogany or walnut, featuring dovetail drawer joinery and a skiver leather inset glued to the top surface.

Authentic pieces display natural patination on the wood, original brass swan-neck handles, keyhole escutcheons, and age-appropriate wear across the leather inset.

An antique writing table functions as a focal home office desk or a spacious console table, balanced alongside contemporary seating and understated lighting.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax polish annually, while protecting the leather inset with dedicated leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
