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.
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.
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.

These tables are defined by geometric wood veneers inlaid across the top and apron surfaces, often influenced by Neoclassical or Louis XVI revival aesthetics. They typically feature slim proportions, tapered fluted legs, and subtle brass mountings or drawer pulls.

Craftsmen typically constructed the core frame from native hardwoods such as oak or fruitwood, applying fine veneers of walnut, kingwood, or rosewood to form the parquetry. Drawers often feature hand-cut dovetail joints and original cast brass hardware.

Authentic period examples demonstrate unevenness from hand-planed underside surfaces, natural age-related shrinkage in the timber veneers, and hand-cast brass fittings. The drawer linings and joinery will show traditional cabinetmaking marks rather than uniform machine cuts.

A writing table of this scale functions as a functional desk in a home office or as a hallway console table. Pair it with modern task lighting and contemporary seating to balance classical detailing with modern functionality.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent veneer lifting or cracking. Apply a high-grade beeswax paste twice yearly along the grain to preserve the timber finish and protect against dust.
