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 writing slope, or lap desk, is a portable wooden box designed with a hinged, angled top that opens into a slanted writing surface, widely popular during the 18th and 19th centuries for travel and correspondence.

Georgian writing slopes were commonly crafted from high-grade timbers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, frequently reinforced with brass edges, flush handles, and inner compartments lined with velvet or skiver leather.

Authentic Late Georgian examples often feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass escutcheons, solid brass edging, and evidence of hand-crafted hidden compartments or inkwell recesses.

A writing slope can be displayed closed as a decorative accent on an office desk, console table, or library bookshelf, adding rich timber tones and historical texture to modern schemes.

Keep the box away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the veneer from lifting or fading, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain.
