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 features a flat rectangular surface resting on two vertical columns of drawers, creating a central kneehole space. Early 20th-century examples often borrow from 18th-century Georgian designs, incorporating decorative cabriole legs and inset leather writing surfaces.

These desks are predominantly constructed using solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, paired with hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast brass handles, and leather writing surfaces with gilt tooling.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut or early machine-cut dovetail joints, unpolished secondary timber on drawer bases, cast brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and visible wear along drawer runners.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office alongside modern task lighting and muted wall shades to complement the deep timber tones, pairing it with neutral upholstery or a contemporary chair.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to protect the timber finish, keeping the desk away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement.
