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

First appearing in England during the early 18th century, the kneehole desk was designed as a compact writing cabinet or dressing table, featuring two side columns of drawers flanking a central recessed space for legroom.

These desks were typically constructed with solid oak or pine carcases veneered in figured timbers such as walnut, burr oak, or mahogany, fitted with cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak drawer linings, hand-carved bracket feet, original brass hardware, and natural timber oxidisation within the interior drawer bases.

A kneehole desk can function as a compact home office workstation, an entryway focal piece, or a bedroom vanity, paired with contemporary lighting to balance traditional woodwork.

Care involves regular dusting with a soft cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish along the grain annually, while maintaining stable humidity levels away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
