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 roll top desk features a flexible slatted wooden shutter, known as a tambour, that slides vertically along curved side grooves to conceal or reveal the interior writing surface and storage compartments.

These desks were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring canvas cloth backing behind wooden slats and cast brass drawer handles or lock mechanisms.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, cast brass hardware, period-appropriate timber graining, and smooth wear patterns along the curved side tracks of the tambour mechanism.

Position the piece as a focal workstation in a home office or study, paired with a modern desk chair and contemporary brass lighting to contrast the traditional woodwork.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and radiators, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply natural beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain and tambour tracks.
