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.
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.
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.

A Victorian pedestal desk consists of a flat writing surface supported by two vertical banks of drawers, known as pedestals, often featuring a central kneehole and integrated leather writing inset.

Late Victorian desks were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, frequently decorated with burr veneers, brass hardware, and tooling-embellished leather tops.

Authentic pieces by cabinetmakers like Gillows often feature stamped maker marks on drawer edges or backs, high-grade dovetail joinery, smooth drawer runners, and fine brass fittings.

Integrate the desk into a contemporary workspace by pairing it with a streamlined modern task chair, a minimal brass desk lamp, and neutral wall tones to balance the dark timber hues.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply high-quality beeswax to the timber surfaces annually along the grain, and condition the leather writing surface with specialised leather wax to prevent drying.
