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

Originating in the late nineteenth century, Arts and Crafts writing tables emphasise functional construction, honest joinery, and the natural figure of timber. Designed in reaction to industrial mass production, these pieces feature clean geometric proportions and subtle decorative details such as parquetry or turned stretchers.

Quarter-sawn oak, walnut, and ash were favoured materials due to their durability and pronounced grain patterns. Metal hardware was typically crafted from cast brass, iron, or copper, often showcasing hand-finished patination.

Authentic examples often display visible hand-fitted joinery, maker stamps or metal workshop plaques, and natural wear patterns across working surfaces. Original brass drop handles and well-executed timber marquetry or parquetry also assist in establishing era authenticity.

An antique writing table serves as a functional focal point in a modern home office, study, or living room alcove. Pairing dark oak with contemporary desk lamps, natural textiles, and neutral paint colours creates a balanced contrast between modern and traditional elements.

Keep the desk away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement or surface fading. Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and periodically apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the direction of the grain to preserve the wood finish.
