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 18th-century Britain, the twin pedestal desk evolved to provide substantial storage alongside a expansive writing surface. Partners variants featured drawers on both sides to accommodate two individuals working opposite each other in commercial and legal offices.

High-quality historical examples are typically constructed from dense cabinet woods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. Writing surfaces often feature gold-tooled leather inserts, complemented by solid brass drop handles and drawer locks.

Authentic period examples generally showcase hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass hardware with natural surface oxidisation, and solid wood drawer linings. The desk structure often separates into three sectionsthe top and two pedestalsto facilitate transportation.

Position the desk centrally within a study or home library to highlight its finished panelled back. Pair it with a modern ergonomic leather swivel chair or a neutral wool area rug to create a balanced blend of traditional and contemporary elements.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax twice yearly along the wood grain. Clean the leather insert using a slightly damp cloth, followed by specialized leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
