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 kneehole desk is a compact form of writing cabinet that originated in the early eighteenth century, characterized by a central recessed opening flanked by drawers or cupboard doors.

These desks were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring solid timber framing, mahogany veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and brass hardware.

Authentic pieces display period construction techniques including hand-sawn drawer linings, uneven dovetail joints, original brass turnings showing mild oxidisation, and natural timber patination on handling surfaces.

Integrate the warmth of golden mahogany by pairing the desk with neutral wall colours, modern brass lighting, and structured leather or upholstered seating to balance historical craftsmanship with clean lines.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent cracking, clean surfaces with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply high-grade beeswax twice yearly to protect the finish.
