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 partners desk is a double-sided pedestal desk designed to allow two people to work facing each other simultaneously. First created in eighteenth-century England, these desks typically feature matching sets of drawers or cupboards on both sides.

Georgian partners desks were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often lined with oak or pine interior drawer timbers. Key fittings include cast brass swan-neck handles and inset leather writing surfaces.

Authentic George III period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, oak drawer linings, hand-cast brass hardware, and original timber oxidisation. A genuine partners desk maintains symmetrical drawer or cupboard configurations on both front and back elevations.

A partners desk is best positioned in the centre of a home office or library room to allow full access to both sides. Pair it with structured leather armchairs or contemporary task seating to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern utility.

Routine maintenance involves dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying beeswax along the wood grain annually. Keep the desk away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid drying out the timber and leather inset.
