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 in the late 19th century, Green Man carving features foliate masks representing mythological nature spirits, heavily carved into oak furniture during the Revival period.

Victorian pedestal desks were typically constructed from solid oak or mahogany, featuring hand-carved drawer fronts, gold-tooled leather writing surfaces, and brass or carved wooden handles.

Authentic Victorian desks exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original castor wheels under the pedestals, natural wear to the plinth bases, and crisp detail in hand-carved elements.

Pair the carved oak desk with modern neutral wall paint, minimalist task lighting, and contemporary seating to create a striking balance between historical craftsmanship and current functionality.

Clean the timber with a soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically along the grain, while cleaning the leather insert with a specialised hide food to prevent cracking.
