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 pedestal desk is a writing table featuring a flat top resting on two parallel vertical columns of drawers, providing substantial storage and working space typical of 19th-century office and study furniture.

These desks were predominantly crafted from solid woods and veneers such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, often featuring brass drop handles, dovetail joinery, and leather or timber writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, stamped brass locks by period makers, castors concealed under plinth bases, and natural wear consistent with 19th-century construction methods.

Position the desk as a focal point in a dedicated study or open-plan living space, pairing dark mahogany tones with modern task lighting, minimal wall art, and neutral paint colours to balance visual weight.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or fading, clean surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply high-quality beeswax twice yearly to protect the finish.
