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.

This Queen Anne style pedestal desk dates from 1920. Constructed from walnut and burr walnut with a warm brown timber colour, the piece has a rich patina and displays crossbanding with kingwood and boxwood string inlay on the burr walnut veneered top and drawer fronts. Nine oak-constructed drawers with dovetail joints retain their original brass drop handles, complemented by a shaped plinth base with bracket feet. The desk measures 74 cm high, 138 cm wide, and 65 cm deep. Positioned in a gentleman's library or home office, this substantial double pedestal desk provides a practical workspace for writing or administrative tasks. The configuration of multiple side drawers offers ample storage for stationery and documents while maintaining traditional proportions suited to a study or executive setting.

FAQs

An inlaid walnut pedestal desk features a flat writing surface supported by two side pedestals containing drawers, crafted with figurative walnut veneers and decorative wood inlay lines.

These pieces typically utilise solid hardwood frames overlaid with figured burr or walnut veneers, often incorporating herringbone or feather banding inlay, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, and cast brass handles.

Authenticity is indicated by signs of age such as hand-cut dovetails, uneven back panels, natural oxidation on brass hardware, and subtle micro-cracking within the original varnish and wood grain.

A walnut desk serves as a functional focal point in a home office or study when paired with modern task lighting, neutral wall tones, and contemporary leather seating to balance the dark wood tones.

Maintain veneer integrity by placing the desk away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, wiping spills immediately, and applying a natural beeswax polish periodically to nourish the wood surface.
