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

Victorian writing desks were crafted during the 19th century, featuring functional designs with integrated drawers, turned legs, fine wood veneers such as walnut, and often inset leather writing surfaces.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilised solid hardwoods including walnut, mahogany, and oak, alongside brass castors, hand-cut dovetail joints, and leather skivers for the writing surface.

Authentic period desks exhibit hand-cut dovetailing on drawer construction, historical wear on original castors, period-correct brass keyhole escutcheons, and natural ageing of the timber.

Place the desk in a home office or living area paired with a modern chair, adding contemporary desk lamps or understated ceramics to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax along the wood grain periodically, keep away from direct heat sources, and treat the leather writing top with specialist care products.
