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

The kidney-shaped writing table originated in eighteenth-century France, designed with a indented front contour to allow an individual closer proximity to the writing surface, and gained renewed popularity during the Victorian era.

These tables commonly feature rosewood or mahogany veneers, leather writing surfaces with gilded tooling, and cast brass or ormolu mounts along the legs and apron.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, natural wear patterns on the metal mounts, heavy solid wood substrate beneath the veneers, and original brass fittings.

A kidney-shaped desk can be positioned in a dedicated study space, an empty alcove, or placed floating in a room to showcase its curved silhouette alongside modern seating.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting, dust leather surfaces with a soft dry cloth, and polish metal mounts gently without chemical compounds.
