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.

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

Georgian style writing desks are characteristically defined by clean geometric lines, balanced proportions, and functional elegance. Typically featuring straight or tapered legs, spade feet, and subtle mouldings, these desks prioritise utility and craftsman construction in solid native timbers like oak and walnut.

Traditional writing desks from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were constructed primarily from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, and walnut. Secondary woods like pine or oak were utilised for internal drawer linings, while hardware was typically sand-cast brass with hand-cut iron lock mechanisms.

Authenticity can be verified by examining the joinery and construction details, such as hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer sides and evidence of hand-planing on untainted undersides. Original period pieces also display uneven patination, natural wood shrinkage around iron fastenings, and original brass fittings with faint surface wear.

An antique oak writing table operates effectively as a functional desk in a contemporary home office or as a console table in a hallway. Pairing the warm timber tones with minimalist modern seating, neutral wall paint, and metallic desk lamps creates a balanced contrast between modern and historic elements.

Maintain antique oak by wiping surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. Apply a natural beeswax polish twice yearly to nourish the wood grain and retain patination, ensuring the piece is positioned away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent cracking.
