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

The pedestal desk emerged during the 18th century as an evolution of the writing table, designed with two vertical banks of drawers supporting a flat writing top to maximize storage for professional and personal correspondence.

Pieces from this era are typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring inset leather writing surfaces, brass moldings or stringing, and solid brass locks and drawer pulls.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, hand-sawn timber drawer linings, and natural age-related wear across the wood patina and writing surface.

A mahogany desk can be positioned centrally in a home office or library, complemented by modern task lighting and contemporary seating to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly, while avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on brass details and using specialized leather cream for the writing surface.
