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 typically feature solid timber frames, polished surfaces, turned legs, and functional frieze drawers. Many designs from this period incorporate inset leather tops with decorative gilt tooling.

Craftsmen commonly utilised native and imported hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, oak, and rosewood. Tops were frequently inlaid with gold-tooled leather, and drawers featured brass hardware including ring pulls or knob handles.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer joints, original brass castors, genuine timber wear, and hand-tooled leather inserts. Period hardware, such as cast brass handles, often shows natural oxidisation consistent with age.

A compact writing desk works effectively as a hall console, bedroom vanity, or alcove study station. Pairing traditional timber with modern task lighting and contemporary seating creates a balanced aesthetic.

Dust mahogany surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the wood grain. Protect leather inserts from direct heat and light sources, conditioning them periodically with specialised leather dressing.
