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

The roll-top desk, or tambour desk, gained widespread popularity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as standard office furniture. Designed with a flexible slatted wooden hood that glides along side tracks, it allowed users to secure confidential documents quickly without reorganising the working surface.

Traditional roll-top desks are commonly constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut. The flexible tambour cover consists of narrow wooden slats attached to a heavy canvas backing, operating alongside solid drawer construction and brass locking mechanisms.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, original brass lock plates, and solid wood drawer linings. The tambour slats should run within wooden channels rather than modern plastic tracks, displaying consistent wood grain and age-appropriate wear.

A mahogany roll-top desk acts as a focal point in a dedicated home office, library, or study space. Incorporate a modern leather desk chair, contemporary brass lighting, and minimalist accessories to balance the substantial proportions and dark wood tone.

Keep the desk away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage or cracking. Apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to nourish the wood surface, and lubricate the side tracks with dry paraffin wax to keep the tambour mechanism sliding smoothly.
