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

An 18th-century pedestal desk typically features a rectangular top, often with a leather insert, supported by two independent banks of drawers forming pedestals, reflecting the neoclassical proportions and classical symmetry favoured during the Georgian era.

These desks were predominantly constructed from solid timber and veneers such as Cuban or Honduras mahogany, incorporating secondary woods like oak or pine for drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, and cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is identified through construction details such as hand-cut dovetails, manual tool marks on secondary timbers, appropriate shrinkage and oxidisation of the wood, and original brass fittings showing period wear patterns.

This piece can be integrated into contemporary spaces by pairing it with minimalist seating and modern lighting to create a striking contrast between historical craftsmanship and clean, modern lines.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, and cleaning only with a soft dry cloth while occasionally applying traditional beeswax.
