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 desk design is known for lighter proportions than its Victorian predecessors, often incorporating classical Georgian influences, clean lines, refined mahogany veneer, fluted pilasters, and brass drop handles.

These desks were typically constructed using solid mahogany or oak, often finished with a gilded leather writing inset and equipped with solid brass castors and drop handles.

Authentic pieces feature drawer configurations on both sides to allow two people to work opposite each other, hand-cut dovetail joints, stamped maker marks or locks, and period-appropriate brass fittings.

Position the desk centrally in a home library or study to showcase both sides, pairing it with neutral wall tones, modern task lighting, and structured leather seating to balance traditional wood tones.

Dust the timber with a microfiber cloth and apply beeswax twice a year along the grain, while treating the leather insert with specialised leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking.
