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 partners desk is a double-sided pedestal desk designed in nineteenth-century Britain to allow two people to work facing each other, featuring drawers or cupboards accessible from both sides.

Victorian partners desks were typically constructed from solid mahogany, walnut, or oak, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, brass locks, and wood or leather writing surfaces.

Authentic Victorian examples usually feature hand-cut dovetail joints, castors set beneath a plinth base, and identical drawers or cupboard configurations mirrored on both the front and rear faces.

Position the desk centrally in a home office or library to allow dual access, paired with neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and modern leather seating to balance the dark timber tones.

Dust the surface with a soft microfibre cloth, apply beeswax polish along the grain annually, and place the desk away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage.
