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 kneehole writing desk is a type of desk featuring a central recessed opening between side drawers or pedestals, providing space for the users legs whilst seated. Popularised in the eighteenth century, this design combines ample drawer storage with a spacious writing surface.

These desks were typically constructed from solid oak, often featuring geometric moulded drawer fronts, turned barley twist legs, and brass drop or knob handles. Internal drawer linings were frequently crafted from oak or pine using hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic pieces show signs of hand-carving, hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, historical wear around handle locations, and natural wood patination. Examining the timber underneath and inside drawer cavities often reveals characteristic hand-tool markings.

A substantial oak writing desk functions as a focal point in a home office or library setting. Pair it with a contemporary leather desk chair, minimalist brass task lighting, and neutral wall tones to balance the dark timber tones.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply high-quality beeswax twice yearly along the wood grain. Avoid placing the desk near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight to prevent warping and timber drying.
