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 roll top desk is a late 19th and early 20th-century writing table featuring a flexible wooden slat door, known as a tambour, that slides down to cover the internal writing surface and pigeonholes.

These desks were predominantly crafted from solid oak or oak veneers, featuring canvas-backed wooden slats for the tambour, dovetailed drawer joints, and solid timber internal dividers.

Authentic 1920s pieces typically display quartersawn oak grain patterns, original brass or iron lock mechanisms, wooden drawer runners, and natural wear marks along the interior tambour tracks.

Place the desk in a home office or study alcove, pairing the natural oak timber with neutral wall tones and a modern task lamp to create a functional workspace.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces, while using paraffin or candle wax along the tambour tracks to maintain smooth opening movement.
