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

Emerging during the nineteenth century, Victorian writing tables were designed as functional study or library furniture, typically featuring a rectangular wooden surface, an inset leather writing skiver, and shallow drawers for stationery.

These tables were predominantly crafted from solid timbers such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often featuring hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, turned timber legs, and dovetail jointed drawers.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original turned wooden or brass handles, lathe-turned legs, and evidence of natural age and patina on the timber and leather skiver.

A Victorian writing desk functions well as a compact work-from-home desk, a hallway console table, or a dressing table when placed alongside modern seating and simple contemporary lighting.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth and apply natural beeswax polish periodically, while keeping the leather inset moisturised with a specialised leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
