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 eighteenth century, Louis XVI furniture returned to Neoclassical principles, moving away from Rococo curves toward straight geometric lines, geometric marquetry, and architectural details such as fluted, tapered legs inspired by Greco-Roman columns.

Desks of this era typically feature a solid timber frame layered with fine hardwood veneers such as mahogany or rosewood, combined with a gold-tooled leather insert for the writing surface and cast brass or ormolu mounts.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, irregularities in veneer thickness, cast bronze or brass mounts with hand-chased details, and natural patination on both wood finishes and leather surfaces.

Place the table as a focal point in a home office or living room, pairing it with modern minimalist seating, contemporary lighting, and subdued wall colours to create an eclectic contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Protect the piece by placing it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, condition the leather surface periodically with specialised leather cream, and clean the veneered wood and metal mounts using a dry, soft microfibre cloth.
