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 George III kneehole desk typically features a rectangular top over a single long frieze drawer, flanked by two pedestals of smaller drawers and a recessed central cupboard within the kneehole cavity.

Georgian walnut desks were constructed using solid native timber frames faced with figured walnut or burr walnut veneers, detailed with featherbanded or crossbanded inlays, and fitted with cast brass handles.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, original steel key locks, and visible oxidisation on untreated timber undersides.

Position the desk as a focal writing surface in a home office or library, complemented by modern neutral wall shades, modern task lighting, and a contemporary desk chair for visual balance.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish along the grain annually, and position the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement.
