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

Popularised in 18th and 19th-century Europe, a kidney-shaped desk features a concave front section designed to surround the seated user, providing an ergonomic writing surface.

These desks were typically constructed using fine satinwood veneers over oak or pine carcases, featuring crossbanded mahogany or rosewood borders, hand-cut dovetail joints, and gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer construction, original brass ring handles, natural age-related patination on the veneer, and hand-tooled leather inserts on the desktop.

Position the desk centrally in a study or near a window to showcase its curved back panel, paired with a contemporary upholstered desk chair or a classic antique armchair.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting, nourish the wood periodically with high-grade beeswax, and condition the leather writing surface with specialised leather balm.
