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

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, cabinetmakers revisited 18th-century designs by Thomas Chippendale, incorporating cabriole legs, ball-and-claw feet, carved acanthus leaf motifs, and rich mahogany timbers.

Edwardian desks were commonly constructed using solid mahogany or rich veneers, fitted with gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces, oak drawer linings, and cast brass swan-neck handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details on the knees and feet, dovetailed drawer joints, period-correct brass hardware, and timber patination consistent with turn-of-the-century craftsmanship.

Position the desk in a dedicated home office or library nook, pairing dark mahogany tones with contemporary lighting and neutral upholstery to balance traditional ornament with modern functionality.

Maintain the surface by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, applying beeswax along the wood grain periodically, and keeping the leather top away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
