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

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

Twin pedestal desks gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, evolving from earlier writing cabinets to provide substantial work surface area and integrated drawer storage for offices and libraries.

These desks are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, often featuring hand-tooled leather or skiver writing surfaces inset into the top.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, timber shrinkage consistent with age, traditional brass or turned wooden knobs, and historical lock mechanisms.

Pairing a traditional wooden desk with modern minimalist seating creates a balanced study space, allowing the rich grain and historical character to serve as a focal point.

Maintain the timber using natural beeswax polish applied sparingly, and protect the leather insert from direct sunlight and moisture by using specialized leather balms.
