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

This style of writing table originated during the 19th century, featuring a flat top supported by classical lyre-shaped end trestles connected by a central stretcher. Frequently incorporating ebonised timber finishes and parcel gilt accents, these pieces were designed for formal study and library spaces.

Cabinetmakers typically used dense hardwoods such as mahogany or fruitwood, finished with dark ebonised lacquers or stains. Decorative highlights often included parcel gilding, brass castors, and velvet or leather upholstery on integrated footrest stretchers.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-crafted joinery, such as hand-cut drawer dovetails, alongside original brass castors and age-appropriate wear or fine surface craquelure in the ebonised finish. Detail elements like lyre supports should show hand-carved definition rather than modern composite moulding.

Position the table as a statement work desk in a modern study or present it as a hall console in a spacious entryway. Pairing the dark ebonised woodwork with clean-lined contemporary seating creates a balanced contrast between historical and modern elements.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh solvent cleaners or abrasive waxes. Position the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the ebonised lacquer finish, gilt highlights, and textile footrest.
