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 pedestal desk features a flat writing surface supported by two parallel columns of drawers, leaving an open kneehole space in the centre for the user.

Craftsmen predominantly used solid mahogany and mahogany veneers over oak or pine drawer linings, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, brass handles, and inset leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetails, original brass keyhole escutcheons, natural wear to the plinth base, and separate into three distinct sections to allow easier transportation.

Position the piece as a focal point in a study, pairing the rich mahogany tones with modern task lighting, neutral wall paint, and contemporary artwork to complement the historic form.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth, apply beeswax sparingly along the grain, and position the furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
