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 Victorian kneehole desk features a central recess flanked by twin pedestals containing drawers, providing legroom alongside structured storage for writing materials.

Victorian cabinetmakers frequently used dense hardwoods such as mahogany and walnut, applying figured veneers like burr walnut onto solid timber frames with hand-dovetailed drawer construction.

Authentic furniture by Maple & Co often features maker stamps, stamped drawer locks, or brass plaques inside drawers, along with precise dovetail joints and high-grade veneers.

Position the desk against a neutral or dark backdrop in a study or reception room, pairing it with contemporary brass desk lighting and modern upholstery to complement the figure of the wood.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading and cracking, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically along the grain.
