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.
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.
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.

Regency writing tables from the early 19th century are characterised by classical influence, symmetrical proportions, and decorative techniques such as brass stringing, lyre-form supports, and brass paw feet.

Craftsmen predominantly used high-grade mahogany or rosewood veneers, accented with brass inlays, marquetry, and cast brass hardware, mounted on solid hardwood frames.

Look for period-accurate dovetail joints in the frieze drawers, original brass castors, hand-cut brass inlay, and natural wear patterns on the wood finish typical of early 19th-century cabinetmaking.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office or study, pairing it with a simple modern chair or neutral table lamp to contrast the detailed timber and brass craftsmanship.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain, and avoid direct heat sources or damp environments to prevent veneer lifting or brass tarnishing.
