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

Developed during the nineteenth century, the pedestal desk features two vertical banks of drawers supporting a flat writing surface with frieze drawers, designed to provide substantial storage for professional offices and home studies.

High-grade mahogany timber, flame mahogany veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid oak or pine drawer linings, and cast brass locks or hand-turned wooden knobs were standard construction elements of this period.

Look for signs of period craftsmanship, such as hand-sawn dovetail joints, original brass lever locks, hand-carved architectural details or pierced gallery rails, and natural patination across the timber surfaces.

Position the desk as a focal point within a home office or library, pairing the rich timber tones with modern task lighting, neutral wall colours, and contemporary seating for a balanced workspace aesthetic.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading and cracking, clear dust regularly with a soft dry microfiber cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to protect the finish.
