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 Victorian pedestal desk typically features a solid flat writing top supported by two vertical columns or pedestals containing multiple stacked drawers. Originating in the nineteenth century, these pieces were designed for administrative utility, showcasing rich dark hardwoods like mahogany or walnut alongside gilded leather work surfaces.

Victorian pedestal desks were predominantly crafted using solid and veneered mahogany, oak, or walnut, complemented by hand-cut dovetail drawer joints and cast brass hardware or turned wooden knobs. Writing surfaces were routinely inlaid with gold-tooled leather or baize to create a cushioned surface for writing with ink and quill.

Authentic pieces display period construction marks such as slightly irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass lever locks, and genuine wear on the plinth bases or castors. Unfinished drawer interiors showing natural timber oxidisation and age-appropriate wear to the drawer runners also indicate age.

Place the desk centrally in a home office or along a wall in a dedicated reading alcove to anchor the room. Pair the dark mahogany wood with modern desk lamps, contemporary artwork, and neutral wall colours to balance the heavy visual weight of traditional furniture.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the luster. Keep the leather writing surface hydrated using specialized leather balm, and position the furniture away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber warping and leather cracking.
