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

French Rococo design, which flourished during the reign of Louis XV, is characterised by organic curves, asymmetrical scrollwork, and shell motifs known as rocaille. Writing desks from this movement typically feature serpentine tops, cabriole legs, and delicate hand-carved friezes.

Traditional French writing tables were constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and fruitwood, often featuring veneers or marquetry. The upper surfaces frequently included inset panels of natural leather decorated with gold foil or blind tooling.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints inside drawers, wooden peg joinery, and natural wear along the leg bases and writing inset. Carvings should exhibit slight organic variations indicative of hand tool craftsmanship rather than modern machine replication.

A Rococo writing desk functions effectively as a focal piece when positioned in a quiet study, bedroom alcove, or living area. Pairing the carved wooden frame with modern lighting or contemporary artwork creates an engaging contrast between historical and modern elements.

Dust the wooden frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Protect the inset leather surface by keeping it away from direct sunlight, avoiding damp contact, and applying a specialised leather balm as needed.
