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

Originating in the late 18th century, kidney-shaped desks are characterised by their gentle concave front, allowing the user to sit closer to the work surface. The style often incorporates neoclassical proportions, fine wood veneers, and tapered support legs.

These desks were typically constructed using solid oak or pine carcasses veneered with Cuban or flame mahogany. Brass elements, including brass wheel castors, escutcheons, and drop handles, were standard decorative and functional features.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer linings, natural timber shrinkage across wide curved surfaces, period-correct brass hardware, and hand-cast iron or brass fittings.

A kidney desk functions effectively floating in the centre of a room or positioned in a bay window. Due to its finished curved back, it can serve as a freestanding study workstation or an elegant bedroom dressing table.

Mahogany should be kept away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent timber cracking or veneer lifting. Maintain the finish by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year and cleaning brass fittings with a soft dry cloth.
