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 pedestal desk is a large free-standing writing table consisting of a flat writing surface resting on two parallel vertical cabinets or pedestals containing drawers. Popularised in the 18th century, this design provides substantial storage while maintaining a formal, symmetrical profile.

Desks from this period typically feature solid or veneered mahogany frames, brass drawer pulls, hand-cut dovetail joints, and a gilded or blind-tooled leather writing surface known as a skiver.

Look for signs of hand-finished dovetail joinery inside the drawers, natural age wear on the base, solid mahogany or quality veneers, and authentic period hardware such as cast brass handles or escutcheon plates.

Balance the rich mahogany timber and classic structure by pairing the desk with a modern task lamp, neutral wall paint, contemporary artwork, or minimalist desk accessories.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish along the grain, while cleaning the leather surface with a specialised leather balm to prevent drying and cracking.
