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.

FAQs

Kidney-shaped writing desks first gained popularity in late 18th-century Europe, particularly during the Regency and Victorian eras, designed to curve comfortably around the user.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, featuring dovetailed drawers, hand-carved ornamentation, and often an inset leather writing surface.

Authenticity is assessed by examining traditional joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, period-appropriate hardware, and natural oxidisation within the wood.

Pairing a richly grained antique desk with contemporary minimalist seating or placing it against a neutral wall creates a striking focal point that balances old and new.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources, and occasionally applying pure beeswax to nourish the timber.
