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 consists of a flat writing surface supported by two independent upright pedestals containing stacked drawers, leaving an open kneehole section in the centre. Originating in 18th-century England, this structural layout provides symmetrical drawer storage paired with a dedicated workstation.

Desks from this period were crafted primarily from dense hardwoods like mahogany, oak, or walnut, frequently incorporating hand-cut dovetail drawer joints. Writing surfaces were typically inset with tool-embossed, gilded leather skivers.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut dovetailing on drawer linings, natural wood shrinkage lines, original brass or turned timber handles, and three-part modular construction that separates the top from the pedestals for transport.

Position the desk near a window or central wall space to serve as a focal point, pairing it with a simple contemporary task chair. Accentuate the upper surface with minimalist brass lighting and structured ceramics to contrast historical woodworking with modern lines.

Timber surfaces require occasional treatment with natural beeswax along the wood grain to preserve hydration and finish. Leather inserts should be wiped gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth, keeping the surface clear of direct heat sources or moisture.
