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 pedestal desk features a rectangular writing surface resting upon two vertical drawer units, or pedestals, separated by a central kneehole. Originally developed in 18th-century England, this design became a standard form for libraries and professional offices throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid and veneered mahogany, featuring hand-fitted drawer linings, solid brass swan-neck handles, and an inset leather writing surface finished with blind or gold tooling.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, original brass locks with keyholes, solid timber back panels, and natural wear patterns along the pedestal base moulding and kneehole opening.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office or study, balancing the dark timber tones with light wall colours, contemporary task lighting, and modern upholstered seating.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and apply high-grade beeswax annually along the grain. Clean the leather inset with a slightly damp cloth and preserve it using a specialist leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
