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, originating in early 18th-century England during the Queen Anne and Georgian periods, is a compact writing table featuring a recessed central space flanked by vertical rows of drawers, often incorporating a small central cupboard.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid primary woods like oak or pine, surfaced with figured walnut, burr walnut, or mahogany veneers, and finished with solid brass drop handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, original brass hardware with threaded posts and cast nuts, and natural surface patination showing age-appropriate wear.

Position the desk against a neutral backdrop in a home office or living space, pairing it with contemporary lighting, understated desk accessories, or modern artwork to create a balanced scheme.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once or twice a year.
