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 partners desk is a large writing desk designed to allow two individuals to sit opposite each other and work simultaneously. Originating in the United Kingdom during the nineteenth century, these desks were traditionally manufactured for corporate partners, bankers, and solicitors.

Traditional partners desks are constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, frequently featuring flame mahogany veneer panels. The upper writing surface typically incorporates a leather insert finished with blind or gold leaf tooling around the perimeter.

Authentic examples feature functioning drawers or cupboards on both the front and rear sides of the frame. Key indicators include hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, period brass hardware, original keyholes, and expected wear along the plinth base.

Position the desk towards the centre of a home office or library space to allow dual access and emphasize its symmetrical design. Complement the dark mahogany tones with neutral wall colours, brass task lighting, and modern upholstered seating.

Dust the timber surfaces with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish along the wood grain periodically. Keep the desk away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the leather insert from drying, cracking, or fading.
