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 pedestal desk typically consists of a flat top resting upon two free-standing pedestals containing fitted drawers, providing balanced storage and a central kneehole for seating. Popularised in 18th and 19th-century Britain, these desks became standard fixtures in professional offices and grand residential libraries.

High-grade mahogany, walnut, and oak were primary cabinet woods, valued for their durability and rich grain patterns. Writing surfaces were frequently inset with gold-tooled animal leather, and drawer linings were constructed using fine pine, oak, or mahogany with hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass locks, and castors hidden within the plinth bases or beneath turned feet. Maker stamps or stamped brass locks from notable cabinetmakers, such as James Winter & Sons, are often found along drawer edges or backboards.

Position the desk floating in the centre of a home office or study to showcase its panelled back and sides rather than pushing it against a wall. Pair it with a contrasting contemporary desk chair or a classic leather armchair, accessorising with modern task lighting and minimal brass accessories.

Keep the timber hydrated by applying high-quality beeswax polish along the grain, avoiding silicone-based sprays. Preserve the leather writing surface by dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying specialised leather conditioner to prevent cracking or drying caused by direct sunlight.
