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 traditional Regency-style writing table features fine mahogany construction, symmetrical proportions, and functional elements such as inset leather writing surfaces and shallow frieze drawers. Design features often include trestle supports, reeded details, and brass hardware.

Antique writing tables are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, paired with gilded or gold-tooled leather surfaces. Hardware usually consists of cast brass ring pulls or drop handles.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, authentic wear patterns around the feet and handles, and age-related patination on both the timber and brass fittings. Original leather insets will often show natural craquelure and tooling marks.

Position the table as a central home office desk or place it behind a sofa in a modern living area to create a functional workspace. Pair the warm mahogany timber with clean-lined contemporary seating or modern table lamps for balanced visual contrast.

Maintain the mahogany by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish along the timber grain once or twice a year. Keep the leather clean using dedicated leather nourishers, and avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent cracking.
