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 kneehole desk typically features a central recessed space for legroom flanked by pedestals containing sets of drawers, a design popularised in eighteenth-century Britain during the Queen Anne and Georgian periods.

Burr walnut furniture utilises thin veneers cut from abnormal growths on walnut trees, applied over a solid timber casing, often accented with hand-cut dovetail drawer joints and cast brass backplate handles.

Authentic period pieces generally display hand-sawn drawer linings, uneven hand-cut dovetail joints, natural oxidisation on the underside of timber surfaces, and original brass hardware showing age-appropriate wear.

Position the piece against a neutral backdrop to highlight the timber grain, pairing it with a contemporary desk lamp or minimalist artwork to create a balanced contrast between historical and modern elements.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth, apply high-grade beeswax periodically along the grain, and keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading.
