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 Victorian kneehole desk features a flat writing surface above a central kneehole recess, flanked by side pedestals or cupboards that offer organised storage.

Desks from this era were primarily constructed using fine hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, often featuring brass locks, escutcheons, and hand-cut joinery.

Authentic pieces display period-correct hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, natural timber patination, cast brass hardware, and solid wood drawer linings.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office or study space, pairing it with a simple contemporary chair and neutral accessories to balance the rich timber tones.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture.
