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 Georgian style pedestal desk consists of a flat writing top resting upon two vertical drawer pedestals, creating a central kneehole space for sitting.

These desks feature pattern-matched burr walnut veneers applied over timber frames, frequently paired with tool-embossed leather writing surfaces and solid brass handles.

Key markers include hand-cut dovetail jointing in the drawers, oak or pine secondary linings, natural oxidisation on brass fitments, and subtle wear surrounding the kneehole.

Position the desk centrally in a study or office space, accompanied by a neutral desk chair and simple brass desk lamps to highlight the natural wood figure.

Maintain the timber surfaces with regular applications of clear beeswax polish, while dusting and conditioning the leather inset with specialised leather dressings.
