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

Cylinder desks and roll tops gained popularity in late 18th-century France and Britain, evolving from earlier bureau plat and slant-front designs to provide secure enclosed workspace for correspondence.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames faced with figured veneers such as satinwood, mahogany, or walnut, utilising interlocking tambour slats or a solid curved cylinder panel alongside dovetail drawer construction.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, subtle variations in veneer figuring, hand-forged or brass hardware, and secondary woods consistent with the era.

Pairing a highly figured timber desk with minimalist modern seating and contemporary lighting creates a striking focal point that balances historic craftsmanship with clean, functional lines.

Protect antique timber from direct sunlight and drastic humidity fluctuations, dusting gently with a dry cloth and occasionally applying quality beeswax polish to maintain the natural lustre of the finish.
