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.

FAQs

A 19th-century pedestal desk typically features a central writing surface supported by two independent banks of drawers, often enriched with fine veneers and marquetry.

These desks were traditionally built using a solid timber secondary wood, overlaid with decorative exotic veneers such as kingwood, mahogany, or walnut, and accented with boxwood stringing and brass hardware.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery techniques such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawer construction, natural ageing of the timber and veneers, and historical manufacturing marks.

An antique pedestal desk works effectively as a focal point in a home office or study, contrasting sharply against minimalist modern walls or anchoring a traditional interior scheme.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent veneer fading, and periodically applying specialist beeswax rather than modern silicon polishes.
