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 Georgian style pedestal desk is a large flat-topped writing desk supported by two pedestals containing drawers, featuring design elements popularised during the 18th century such as flame veneers, brass fittings, and leather writing tops.

These desks were primarily constructed from solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, with drawers featuring pine or oak linings, gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces, and solid brass drop handles or swan-neck pulls.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and hand-tooled leather tops showing signs of historic wear.

Position the desk centrally in a dedicated home office or library, pairing it with modern lighting and a contemporary task chair to balance traditional craftsmanship with contemporary functionality.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax twice a year. Keep the leather top hydrated using a specialist leather conditioner and protect the surface from direct sunlight and hot liquids.
