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 typically consists of three separate sections: a flat rectangular writing surface containing frieze drawers and two supporting side pedestals fitted with stacked drawers. Introduced in the 19th century, this design allowed for easy transportation and substantial practical storage.

Primary timbers included solid mahogany, oak, or walnut, often finished with flame mahogany veneers on drawer fronts. The writing surface traditionally featured an inset panel of gilded and hand-tooled leather, complemented by turned timber or brass drawer handles.

Authentic Victorian examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer linings, original brass lever locks, pine or oak drawer bottoms, and natural age-related patination. The top writing surface lifts away from the two independent side pedestals.

Position the desk in a home office or study alongside modern task lighting and an ergonomic leather chair to balance historical character with utility. It can also serve as a central statement writing table in a spacious living room or library.

Dust mahogany surfaces regularly with a clean, dry cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically along the timber, avoiding the leather insert. Treat the leather writing surface with specialized leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking, keeping the desk away from direct heat.
