Archival Detail
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 Regency mahogany writing desk typically features clear geometric proportions, fine timber veneers, turned or reeded tapering legs, and a functional arrangement of drawers surrounding a central kneehole aperture.

These desks were primarily constructed using solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcass wood, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints and brass or turned wood drawer handles.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as irregular hand-cut dovetails, tool marks on unexposed drawer bottoms, natural timber oxidisation, and genuine age-related wear around the drawer handles and base.

Position the desk against a neutral wall or centrally in a room to showcase its profile, pairing it with a modern desk lamp and an upholstered task chair to balance historic craftsmanship with modern functionality.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, working along the timber grain while keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators.
