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.

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

Maintain the surface by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and periodically applying high-quality beeswax to nourish the wood, avoiding silicone-based polishes and direct exposure to strong sunlight.

Pairing the deep wood tones with modern minimalist seating, clean-walled backgrounds, and contemporary abstract art creates a balanced contrast that highlights the rich grain of the timber.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, secondary timbers like oak or pine inside the drawers, traditional timber shrinkage patterns, and period-appropriate brass or wooden handles.

These desks are predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, frequently featuring hand-tooled leather inserts known as skivers on the top surface.

A Victorian pedestal desk is a large office or study desk featuring two independent columns of drawers supporting the top surface, manufactured during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901.
