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.

Victorian writing tables were produced during the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and are characterized by solid timber construction, particularly mahogany, turned or reeded legs, frieze drawers for storage, and low rear galleries to prevent stationery from falling behind the surface.

These pieces were predominantly crafted using Cuban or West Indian mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcases, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer linings, turned timber handles, and brass castors.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass wheel castors, natural wear on the underside of the rails, and timber shrinking consistent with age.

A Victorian writing table can function as a compact home office workstation, a hallway console table, or a dressing table, contrasting dark mahogany wood against contemporary light neutral walls.

Maintain mahogany timber by applying a natural beeswax polish twice a year along the direction of the grain, keeping the surface free of moisture, and positioning the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
