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 Victorian pedestal desk consists of two upright drawer columns supporting a flat top surface, designed during the nineteenth century to provide structured storage and a substantial workspace for offices and domestic libraries.

These desks were typically constructed using solid mahogany, walnut, or oak timber, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass lock mechanisms, turned wooden handles, and occasionally a leather or timber writing insert.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut dovetails, original brass locks, concealed castors beneath plinth bases, and natural wear patterns or fading across the timber surface.

Position the desk in a dedicated home office or study space, pairing it with a modern tailored chair and contemporary task lighting to balance historic timber craftsmanship with modern design elements.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the wood grain periodically, and position the desk away from direct heat sources and sunlight to preserve the timber finish.
