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 partners desk is a double-sided writing table originally created in the nineteenth century to allow two people to work facing each other comfortably. French library desks combine this functional layout with traditional French cabinetmaking elements, such as elegant cabriole legs and decorative brass mounts.

These desks are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or fruitwood. The writing surface is frequently inset with gilded or blind-tooled leather, accompanied by cast brass or bronze drawer pulls and keyhole escutcheon plates.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, natural wear or oxidisation on the brass hardware, and timber patination consistent with age. Additionally, genuine partners desks feature matching drawer configurations or dummy drawers on the reverse side.

Position the desk centrally in a study or wide room rather than against a wall to showcase its finished reverse side. Pair it with a modern leather desk chair, neutral architectural lighting, and minimalist desk accessories to create a balanced blend of period and contemporary elements.

Maintain the oak frame by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the leather inset supple by wiping it clean with a lightly damp cloth and applying a dedicated leather balm to prevent drying or cracking.
