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.

This small Arts & Crafts writing desk dates from 1900 and exhibits a warm brown oak frame paired with a green tooled leather inset top. The piece features a rectangular writing surface bordered by gilt decoration, a single frieze drawer fitted with a central brass keyhole escutcheon, and four tapered square legs with shaped feet. Measuring 76 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 46 cm deep, the desk occupies a modest footprint. Practical for everyday use in a modern home, this compact table functions well as a writing station in a study, a bedroom writing desk, or a compact console in a hallway. The repolished surface and replacement leather offer a clean appearance ready for regular interior placement.

FAQs

Arts and Crafts writing desks are characterised by simple forms, honest construction, and minimal ornamentation, highlighting the natural wood grain and utility of the piece.

These desks frequently feature solid oak framing, hand-dovetailed drawers, brass hardware, and gilded or tooled leather writing surfaces.

Look for traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, quartersawn oak displaying distinctive ray patterns, and functional cast metal fittings.

Position the desk in an alcove, bedroom, or home office alongside neutral textiles, contemporary lighting, and minimal desktop accessories to create a balanced study area.

Clean the oak with a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically, while keeping the leather inset conditioned using specialised leather cream away from direct heat sources.
