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 pedestal desks typically feature structured proportions, high-quality timber construction such as oak or mahogany, and functional layouts. They consist of a central writing top flanked by twin pedestals containing stacked drawers, often finished with leather writing inserts.

Craftsmen during the Edwardian era primarily utilised solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, and walnut, often using figured cut veneers for drawer fronts. Writing surfaces were routinely inset with gilt-tooled leather, accompanied by solid brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces display construction hallmarks including hand-cut dovetail joints, solid timber drawer linings, and period-correct brass locks and handles. The timber surface will show natural age-appropriate patination and grain variations consistent with early twentieth-century manufacturing.

A pedestal desk works as a functional focal point within a dedicated study or library space. Positioning the piece alongside contemporary task lighting, modern artwork, and neutral wall colours balances classic proportions with contemporary aesthetics.

Maintain the timber by periodically applying clear beeswax sparingly along the wood grain and buffing with a soft cloth. The leather top should be kept out of direct heat and sunlight, and cleaned using dedicated leather care solutions rather than harsh chemical sprays.
