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 18th and 19th-century France, these writing desks feature a flat surface accompanied by a raised superstructure containing small drawers or open compartments.

French provincial cabinetmakers frequently utilised native hardwoods including fruitwood, walnut, cherry, and oak, joining timber with traditional hand-cut joinery.

Authentic pieces display historical indications of craftsmanship such as hand-planed timber surfaces, hand-cut dovetail joints, and natural wear patterns along drawer knobs and surfaces.

Position the desk against a feature wall or within a window alcove, pairing it with neutral upholstery or contemporary seating to contrast against the warm timber tones.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply clear beeswax polish periodically to preserve the timber finish.
