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

Originating in the early eighteenth century, a Georgian kneehole desk is a compact flat-topped writing table featuring a central recessed leg compartment, often fitted with an interior cupboard, flanked by columns of storage drawers.

These pieces were primarily constructed from solid dense mahogany or oak framing, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, brass swan-neck handles, and cast keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-sawn drawer linings, unevenness in timber backboards due to hand planing, hand-cut dovetails, and natural shrinkage marks around drawer surrounds and timber joints.

Position the desk against a neutral or dark backdrop paired with modern task lighting and contemporary artwork to create a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern design.

Maintain stable humidity levels away from direct heat radiators, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain.
