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

Partners desks were originally designed in 19th-century Britain to accommodate two people sitting opposite each other, often used by bankers, lawyers, and business partners to share a single workspace.

These desks are traditionally constructed from solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, featuring hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, dovetail joints in the drawers, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetailing, period-appropriate timber shrinkage, traditional wax finishes, and genuine patination on the leather and brass fixtures rather than machine-made uniformity.

Positioning the desk centrally in a room as a statement piece allows its double-sided functionality to be appreciated, pairing it with a tailored leather executive chair and minimal accessories to balance its visual weight.

Maintain the timber using traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes, and treat the leather insert periodically with neutral leather balms to prevent drying and cracking.
