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

Antique Italian side tables and writing desks from the 17th to 19th centuries typically feature solid wood construction, bold turned legs, and functional single drawers. Influenced by Renaissance and Baroque design traditions, these pieces emphasise structural geometry, architectural proportions, and practical surface space.

Craftsmen commonly utilised native hardwoods such as walnut, chestnut, and fruitwood. Construction features frequently include hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, hand-turned baluster legs, and heavy stretchers designed to provide structural stability and keep feet elevated off damp floors.

Authentic period examples demonstrate signs of manual hand-tooling, such as hand-sawn wood under the frame and irregular dovetail drawer joinery. Look for natural age wear, historical timber shrinkage along top boards, authentic wooden drawer runners, and historic patination in unpolished crevices.

A solid timber side desk functions as an accent piece in an entryway, living room, or home office. Pair it with modern task lighting and contemporary artwork to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and minimalist modern design.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent warping and splitting. Clean the surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the wood grain and historic patina.
