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 partners desk is a substantial double-sided desk created during the Victorian era to enable two people to work facing each other simultaneously. They typically feature drawers or cupboards on both sides and a central leather writing surface.

These desks are predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-carved dovetail drawers, cast brass handles, and a gold-tooled leather skiver inset into the desktop.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, original brass swan-neck handles, period lock mechanisms, and matching drawer configurations or dummy drawers on the reverse side.

Because partners desks are finished on all sides, they are best placed in the centre of a room rather than against a wall. Pair with a modern leather desk chair and neutral backdrop to highlight the rich timber tones.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a soft cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice yearly along the grain. Clean the leather inset with a dedicated leather balm to prevent drying or cracking, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources.
