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

Popularised during the nineteenth century, kidney-shaped writing desks feature a gentle concave curve designed to allow comfortable access to all areas of the writing surface. These pieces often incorporate decorative veneers, intricate inlay work, and integrated stationery compartments.

Victorian craftsmen frequently utilised wood veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, and mahogany over solid timber cores. Writing surfaces were typically inset with tool-embossed leather, supported by turned or carved legs connected via stretchers for structural stability.

Authentic pieces display indications of traditional hand-craftsmanship, including hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, natural wear on castors, and historical oxidisation on brass components. Genuine burr walnut examples exhibit distinct, non-repeating grain patterns and hand-cut marquetry or stringing inlays.

Position the writing table as a central focal point in a home office, library, or living room bay window. Combining the rich wood tones with contemporary task lighting and neutral wall finishes creates a balanced interior scheme.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish periodically to nourish the wood finish. Keep leather inserts away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or discolouration.
