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 nineteenth century, Victorian pedestal desks consist of a flat writing surface resting upon two free-standing plinth bases or pedestals. These pedestals typically incorporate sets of drawers or cupboards, offering structured storage alongside a central kneehole.

Craftsmen predominantly used solid mahogany, walnut, or oak, often finished with highly figured flame mahogany veneers. Writing surfaces were commonly inlaid with gold-tooled leather or baize to create a smooth surface for penwork.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, cast brass or turned wood handles, and original lock mechanisms. The underside and back boards usually show hand-sawn timber marks and consistent age-related patination.

A Victorian desk serves as an anchor piece in a contemporary home office or library setting, balancing minimalist contemporary decor with historical warmth. Pairing the piece with modern lighting or an ergonomic leather chair creates a functional blend of eras.

Apply natural beeswax polish to the timber surfaces along the grain to protect the wood finish and prevent drying. The leather inset should be wiped clean with a dry cloth and occasionally conditioned with dedicated leather balm.
