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 Late Victorian pedestal desk typically features two vertical column pedestals containing drawers, supporting a flat rectangular top with a central kneehole. Originating in the nineteenth century, these pieces were designed to offer substantial storage alongside a flat surface often inset with leather for writing.

Victorian pedestal desks were commonly constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, often incorporating drawer linings made of pine or mahogany. Construction features include hand-cut dovetail joints, brass drop handles, and a gilded or blind-tooled leather writing surface set into the wooden top.

Authentic nineteenth-century pedestal desks display hand-sawn drawer construction, natural age patination, and original brass hardware or lock plates. Checking the underside and drawer interiors for dovetailing and period wood grain helps confirm authenticity.

An antique oak pedestal desk pairs well with contemporary task lighting and minimalist seating to create a balanced work environment. Placing it in a dedicated home office, library, or living room alcove adds historical texture to modern schemes.

Oak surfaces should be polished periodically with beeswax to maintain the grain and prevent timber from drying. The leather writing insert requires cleaning with a soft cloth and occasional treatment with dedicated leather conditioner to preserve its flexibility.
