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.
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.
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.

George III kneehole desks typically feature a rectangular top above a long frieze drawer, flanked by two pedestals of small drawers with a recessed central cupboard, crafted primarily in mahogany during the 18th century.

Georgian desks were predominantly constructed from Cuban mahogany, featuring oak or pine secondary drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, and cast brass swan-neck handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn secondary timber linings, irregular hand-dovetailed drawer construction, period brass drop handles with threaded posts, and wear patterns on the bracket feet and writing surface.

A compact Georgian kneehole desk functions as a hallway console, a dedicated home office workstation, or a bedroom dressing table when paired with contemporary lighting and artwork.

Maintain mahogany furniture by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, applying a beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
