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 George I kneehole desk is an early 18th-century writing table featuring a long top drawer over a central recessed kneehole cupboard, flanked by two side pedestals containing small drawers.

These pieces were typically constructed with figured walnut veneers laid over oak or pine carcasses, trimmed with herringbone stringing, fitted with brass batwing or teardrop handles, and supported on solid bracket feet.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, oak or pine secondary timbers, period-correct brass escutcheons, natural shrinkage marks in the veneer, and authentic surface patination.

Position the piece as a focal writing table in a dedicated study or space it along a wide corridor, pairing the warm walnut timber with contemporary task lighting and minimal decorative art.

Maintain the surface by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax once a year, avoiding placement near direct heat sources or harsh sunlight to prevent moisture loss and veneer lifting.
