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

Widely produced during the nineteenth century, a pedestal desk consists of a flat writing surface supported by two vertical banks of drawers, known as pedestals, with a central kneehole space for seating.

Victorian examples typically feature solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, secondary softwoods for interior drawer linings, and hand-tooled leather writing inserts fitted into the top.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass lever locks, original turned wooden or brass drawer knobs, and natural wear to the leather surface and lower plinth bases.

Position the desk centrally in a dedicated study or home office, pairing it with a simple contemporary desk chair to create a balanced contrast between period craftsmanship and modern function.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish along the grain, while cleaning the leather insert with a specialized conditioner to prevent drying or cracking.
