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 United Kingdom during the eighteenth century, partners desks were designed for banking executives and business partners to work face-to-face at a single shared piece of furniture. They feature matching sets of drawers and cupboards on both opposing sides.

These desks are constructed using solid timber frameworks such as oak or mahogany, overlaid with figured burr walnut veneers. Handles and lock escutcheons are traditionally cast in brass.

Authentic examples feature functional drawer configurations on both sides rather than false decorative drawer fronts on the reverse. Construction indicators include hand-cut dovetail joints, period brass hardware, and genuine wear patterns consistent with age.

Position the desk centrally in a room to allow access to both sides and highlight its double-fronted design. Complement the rich wood tones with a modern task lamp, an upholstered executive chair, and minimal desktop accessories.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the wood finish. Position the item away from direct sunlight and radiator heat to prevent veneer movement or bleaching.
