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

Kidney-shaped writing desks, originating in 18th-century France, are characterised by a concave front designed to bring the work surface closer to the seated user. The Louis XV influence is marked by gentle S-curves, cabriole legs, marquetry foliage patterns, and decorative brass or ormolu mounts.

These tables are traditionally constructed with a solid timber carcass veneered in patterned burr walnut. Additional features often include cast brass or bronzed mounts, inset gilded leather writing surfaces, and pierced brass gallery rims around the upper perimeter.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased metalwork with subtle casting imperfections, natural oxidisation on underside surfaces, and period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails on drawers. Veneers will show authentic age-related shrinkage lines and patina.

A kidney-shaped desk works well positioned centrally in a room or within a curved bay window to highlight its outline. Pairing the warm walnut tones with neutral linen upholstery or contemporary minimal lighting creates an effective visual balance.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly along the wood grain. Keep the leather insert clean using specialist leather hide food, and position the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement or fading.
