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 rolltop desk, or tambour desk, features a flexible slatted wooden curtain that slides down to conceal internal compartments and the writing surface.

Victorian rolltop desks were commonly constructed from solid mahogany, oak, or walnut, often featuring leather writing surfaces and cast brass hardware.

Look for hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast brass handles, original lock mechanisms, and natural hand-finished wear consistent with nineteenth-century cabinetmaking.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office or study, pairing it with neutral walls, modern brass lighting, and structured contemporary seating.

Maintain the timber with high-quality beeswax polish applied along the grain, keep away from direct heat sources, and ensure the tambour track stays clear of dust.
