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 tambour desk is a writing cabinet or bureau featuring a flexible cover made of thin wooden slats glued to a fabric backing. This flexible hood slides vertically or horizontally along tracks to open and reveal internal fitted drawers, pigeonholes, and a writing surface.

19th-century tambour desks were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as English or American oak, mahogany, and walnut. Interior fittings often utilised lighter secondary timbers like pine or cedar, while exterior fittings featured cast brass handles, escutcheons, and steel locking mechanisms.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature hand-cut or early machine dovetail joints on drawers, heavy solid oak construction, and natural wear along the wooden tracks of the flexible slats. Look for period-appropriate brass hardware with natural oxidisation, original lock plates, and solid panel construction on the rear and sides.

Position the desk against a neutral or dark backdrop in a home office, library, or living area to showcase its warm timber tone. Balance the substantial visual weight of the oak with contemporary minimalist lighting, neutral linen upholstery, and simple decorative ceramics.

Keep oak furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and warping. Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina and protect the wood finish.
