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 pedestal desk consists of a flat writing surface resting atop two separate vertical drawer columns, known as pedestals, creating a central kneehole space for sitting.

These desks were primarily constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often featuring a hand-tooled leather writing inset, brass castors, and hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints.

Look for hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original brass castors, evidence of natural wood shrinkage, and hand-turned wooden or cast brass drawer knobs.

Pair the piece with modern task lighting and a contemporary upholstered chair to balance traditional dark wood joinery with clean, functional modern aesthetics.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and treat the leather inset with a specialised leather conditioner.
