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

Victorian burr walnut writing desks are characterised by highly figured wood veneers sourced from walnut tree burls, combined with practical features such as tool-embossed leather writing surfaces, raised stationery boxes or galleries, and intricately carved trestle or pedestal supports.

These desks typically feature a solid timber frame layered with decorative burr walnut veneer, a inset leather writing surface with blind or gilt tooling, brass gallery railings or handles, and hand-cut dovetailed jointing in the drawers.

Authentic period pieces display natural variations in the veneer grain, original hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, wear on the brass fittings, and signs of age on the underside timber panels or ceramic castors.

Position the desk as a focal point in a dedicated study, bedroom alcove, or living room, pairing it with a contemporary desk chair and modern task lighting to create a refined contrast between period craftsmanship and minimalist design.

Keep the wood nourished by applying a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain twice a year, protect the leather surface with specialised leather conditioner, and position the table away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading.
