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

A Victorian pedestal desk typically consists of a large flat top supported by two vertical banks of drawers, known as pedestals, framing a central kneehole for seating.

High-grade hardwoods such as solid oak, mahogany, or walnut were commonly used for the frame, often paired with inset leather writing surfaces and cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces frequently feature stamped maker marks or brass plates on the drawer edges, along with precision dovetail drawer joints and distinct moulding.

Position the desk centrally in a home study or library space, paired with a modern leather swivel chair and minimalist desk lighting to balance historical character with utility.

Dust the wooden surfaces with a soft dry cloth and nourish the leather inset with specialised leather balm, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying.
