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

Developed in the 18th century, a George III kneehole desk typically features a flat writing top above a full-width frieze drawer, flanked by two vertical stacks of three smaller drawers, with a recessed central cupboard placed within the kneehole cavity.

These desks were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often using imported Cuban timber, featuring secondary woods such as oak or pine for drawer linings and hand-cast brass for handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn back panels, original cast brass hardware secured with hand-cut threads and nuts, alongside minor timber shrinkage consistent with age.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office or library, paired with contemporary table lamps and minimalist artwork to contrast the traditional dark timber grain.

Maintain mahogany by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, and keeping the piece away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
