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

Edwardian writing desks created between 1900 and 1915 frequently features lighter proportions than Victorian predecessors, utilising turned legs, dark or medium oak, and practical leather or baize writing surfaces designed for domestic correspondence.

Desks of this era were predominantly constructed using solid oak or mahogany, assembled with traditional dovetail joinery, mortise and tenon joints, brass keyhole escutcheons, and inset skiver leather tops.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut or early machine dovetailing in the drawers, natural patination on the timber surface, historic wear around the leg stretchers, and period-appropriate brass hardware.

Position the desk near a window or within an alcove, pairing it with a contemporary task chair or classic hall chair to create a compact workspace within a living room, bedroom, or hallway.

Apply natural beeswax sparingly to the timber frame to nourish the oak grain, while wiping the inset leather top gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dedicated leather conditioner.
