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

Early 19th-century writing desks, typically dating from the Georgian or Regency periods, are defined by balanced proportions, fine mahogany timber, inset leather writing surfaces, and functional frieze drawers supported by square tapered or turned legs.

These pieces were primarily constructed from solid mahogany or rich mahogany veneers, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer linings, cast brass handles, and gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces secured with natural hide glues.

Authentic period writing tables display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, irregular marks from hand-planing on unexposed timber, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and light age-related wear to the leather inset.

A mahogany writing desk can serve as a functional workspace in a home office, a compact console table in an entry hall, or a dressing table in a bedroom, balanced alongside contemporary artwork and minimal lighting.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year. The leather inset surface should be treated periodically with a specialised leather conditioner to preserve flexibility and prevent cracking.
