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

Originating in the early 20th century, these desks feature a distinctive crescent or kidney-shaped top designed to allow comfortable access to drawers while seated. They frequently combine refined revivalist proportions with detailed cabinetmaking and decorative brass fittings.

Desks of this period were typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as mahogany or satinwood, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass galleries, and gold-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces by Shapland & Petter frequently feature stamped locks marked S&P B or registered design numbers, precise cabinetmaking, distinctive metalwork, and finely executed marquetry or inlay.

A kidney-shaped desk functions well positioned away from walls in a study or living area, complemented by clean-lined task lighting, neutral textiles, and modern seating to balance the wood tone.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year following the wood grain. Protect the leather insert from moisture and direct sunlight to avoid discolouration.
