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.

FAQs

A partners desk is a large double-sided writing table traditionally designed for two people to work opposite each other, featuring banks of drawers and cupboards on both sides, which became popular in 18th and 19th-century British offices and libraries.

Authentic period desks are constructed using solid hardwoods and veneers such as mahogany, oak, or ash, joined with traditional dovetail joints on the drawers and hand-turned brass hardware.

Authentication involves examining hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage, historical tool marks, and appropriate patination on the hardware and wood surfaces rather than machine-made uniformity.

Pairing a substantial period desk with contemporary minimalist seating or placing it centrally in a room creates a striking focal point that balances historic character with modern utility.

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