Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

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.

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

Originating in 18th-century France and widely produced throughout the Victorian era, a kidney-shaped writing table features a concave front curve designed to bring the user closer to the writing surface.

Victorian examples were typically crafted using solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, frequently faced with figured rosewood veneers and fitted with hand-carved trestle or pedestal supports.

Authentic period tables display hand-cut joinery beneath the apron, age-appropriate wear patterns to the underside, hand-carved detail on the legs, and natural grain variation in the timber.

Position the table in a bay window or dedicated nook paired with a modern upholstered desk chair to create an intentional contrast between period timber and contemporary textures.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically while keeping the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or cracking.
