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 Victorian writing table is a 19th-century desk featuring a flat top, often inset with leather, accompanied by frieze drawers and turned legs.

These tables were typically constructed from solid timber such as mahogany, walnut, or pine, with leather writing inserts and hand-cut wooden or brass fittings.

Authentic pieces feature period construction details such as hand-dovetailed drawer joints, natural wear to timber surfaces, original turned legs, and authentic 19th-century hardware.

A writing table can function as a home office workspace, hallway console, or living room desk when paired with modern seating and minimal desk accessories.

Maintain the timber by applying natural wax polish regularly, clean the leather insert with a soft dry cloth, and keep the desk away from direct heat sources.
