Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

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

Emerging in the late 19th century, Arts & Crafts furniture emphasises honest craftsmanship, simple forms, visible joinery, and natural wood grain, often featuring hand-crafted metalwork or decorative glass accents.

Desks from this era were primarily constructed using solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, accented with beaten copper or brass handles, leaded glazed doors, and occasionally enamel or glass roundels.

Authentic pieces from Liberty & Co. or contemporary makers of that style feature distinctive organic cut-outs, stylized curved stretchers, leaded glass inserts with coloured cabochons, and precise cabinetwork with original lock mechanisms.

Compact bureaux serve as dedicated study spaces or hallway accents, pairing well with contemporary task lighting, minimalist accessories, and modern upholstered seating to complement the historical timber.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage or fading.
