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 breakfront pedestal desk features a central drawer section that projects forward slightly beyond the two flanking pedestals, combining structured drawer storage with a recessed central kneehole for seating.

These desks typically feature walnut or burr walnut veneers applied over a solid timber frame, paired with a gilded leather writing surface on top and solid brass drawer hardware.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass escutcheons or handles, hand-tooled detailing on the leather inlay, and natural wear patterns along the plinth base.

Position the desk as a focal point in a dedicated home office or study, pairing it with a contemporary task lamp and neutral textiles to balance the dark timber tones.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain, and treat the leather writing surface with a specialised leather conditioner to prevent drying.
