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

Popularised during the late 19th century Aesthetic Movement, French faux bamboo furniture features solid wood turned and carved to imitate the nodes, joints, and natural grain of bamboo stalks.

Craftsmen typically used hardwoods such as beech, maple, or pitch pine for the carved frame, frequently pairing the structure with inset leather writing surfaces and brass hardware.

Authentic partners desks feature dual-sided construction with matching drawers or cupboards on both sides, hand-cut dovetail joints, original lock mechanisms, and period-appropriate wear along the plinth base.

Position the desk centrally in a home office or library to showcase its double-sided craftsmanship, pairing it with modern task lighting and neutral textiles to balance the textured woodwork.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to protect the timber, and clean the leather inset with a dedicated leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
