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 kneehole desk is a flat-topped writing table featuring a central recessed space for seating, flanked on either side by pedestals containing sets of drawers.

19th-century desks were constructed primarily from solid oak or oak veneers, often incorporating hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast brass hardware, and leather inset writing surfaces.

Authentic period pieces display period craftsmanship such as hand-sawn drawer linings, original brass lever locks, subtle construction variations, and authentic wear along the plinth base.

Pair the warm oak tones with contemporary desk lighting, neutral wall colours, and streamlined seating to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality.

Maintain the oak timber with beeswax polish applied sparingly along the grain, and clean the leather surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
