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 kidney-shaped desk features a concave crescent silhouette, designed in the 18th and 19th centuries to allow the user to sit closer to the writing surface while keeping drawers within comfortable reach.

These desks were typically constructed using solid mahogany or oak carcasses veneered in fine flame mahogany, featuring decorative boxwood, satinwood, or ebony stringing and cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, original brass castors, hand-cast brass handles, and subtle surface variations in the hand-laid timber veneers.

Position the desk freestanding in a room to showcase its curved back panel, paired with a classic leather desk chair and understated desk accessories.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, avoiding silicone sprays and direct sunlight.
