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 mid-18th century, a George II style kneehole desk features a rectangular top, a central recessed kneehole often containing a small cupboard, and symmetrical vertical stacks of drawers on either side.

These desks were crafted using solid secondary timbers such as oak or pine for the drawer linings and frame, faced with figured walnut or mahogany veneers, and finished with cast brass handles.

Authentic construction features hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer construction, hand-sawn secondary wood backing, natural wood shrinkage over time, and cast brass hardware showing historical patination.

A kneehole desk functions as a compact writing station in a home study, an entryway console table, or a dressing table in a bedroom, balanced by modern task lighting and minimalist seating.

Maintain walnut surfaces by dusting with a dry microfiber cloth and applying a thin coat of clear beeswax polish annually, while avoiding direct sunlight and proximity to radiators.
