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

Originating in the late 19th century, Aesthetic Movement furniture rejected mass-produced Victorian ornament in favour of craftsmanship, geometric lines, and artistic influences from Japan. Common characteristics include ebonised wood trim, stylized natural motifs, and rich timber veneers.

Desks from this era were primarily constructed using hard woods such as walnut, oak, mahogany, or pine, frequently adorned with burr veneers. Decorative elements often incorporated ebonised mouldings and cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces typically showcase hand-cut dovetail jointing inside drawers, original solid brass drop-ring handles, ebonised border details, and clean geometric panelling characteristic of the 1870s to 1890s.

Balance the deep timber tones and structured form by pairing the desk with a minimal contemporary desk lamp, sleek brass desk accessories, and a tailored linen or leather office chair.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish occasionally. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and moisture to prevent veneer lifting or wood split.
