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

Victorian pedestal desks typically feature a central kneehole flanked by two columns of drawers, constructed with solid timber or veneers, and often topped with a leather writing surface.

Solid mahogany, oak, or walnut were commonly used alongside timber veneers, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, brass handles, and gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentic Victorian pieces generally display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass locks or stamped escutcheons, solid wood drawer linings, and natural age-related wear to the plinth base or castors.

Pair a traditional mahogany desk with a contemporary desk lamp, a modern sculptural chair, and minimalist brass accessories to create a balanced workspace.

Condition the leather writing surface periodically with specialist leather balm, polish the mahogany with natural beeswax, and protect the piece from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying.
