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.

An antique Victorian writing table from 1860 stands as a practical desk fashioned from figured mahogany veneer with a warm brown timber finish. The rectangular top sits above two frieze drawers fitted with small turned wooden knob handles, positioned over flat end standards and original turned mahogany bun feet connected by a shaped lower stretcher. Fine grain figures run across the top surface, complemented by simple moulding profiles along the drawer frames and stretcher edges. Measuring 76 cm high, 126.5 cm wide, and 61 cm deep, the table fits naturally into a home study, library, or bedroom as a traditional writing workspace or display console against a wall.

FAQs

Victorian writing tables typically feature solid or veneered mahogany construction, classical proportions, frieze drawers for stationery storage, and sturdy support structures such as turned legs or end standards.

These tables were constructed using hand-joined dovetail drawer joints, high-grade mahogany veneers like flame or figured grain, and turned wooden knob handles or solid brass fittings.

Authentic pieces often display hand-sawn drawer linings, natural age-related oxidisation, original timber knobs, and traditional joinery techniques without modern fasteners.

A Victorian writing table functions as a compact home office desk, a hallway console table positioned behind a sofa, or a refined dressing table within a bedroom setting.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood.
