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

Antique library desks from the period typically feature functional proportions, substantial timber construction, and classic joinery designed for formal studies and domestic libraries.

These pieces were crafted primarily from solid oak or pine frameworks, utilising traditional hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers and turned wooden knobs or brass fittings.

Authenticity is identified through hand-planed surfaces, irregular tool marks, period-appropriate timber shrinkage, and traditional joinery rather than modern mechanical fixings.

Pair the piece with contemporary seating or minimalist lighting to create a balanced contrast between historic warmth and modern functionality within a study space.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
