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

Kidney-shaped desks, known historically in France as tables a rognon, originated during the 18th century. Designed with a curved front to sit comfortably around the user, the style became prominent during the Louis XV period and was widely reproduced in Victorian and Edwardian cabinetmaking.

These tables are constructed using burr walnut veneers selected for their swirling grain patterns, laid over solid hardwood frames. Decorative accents typically include cast brass or gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, edge moulding, and fitted galleries.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, natural age-related oxidisation on the timber underside, and hand-matched veneer panels. Look for genuine patina and wear on the metallic hardware and leg mounts.

Position the table as a statement desk in a study or as an occasional console table in a hallway or bedroom. Contrast the rich wood grain with minimalist modern accessories or modern artwork.

Keep the piece in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting or bleaching. Clean using a dry soft cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically along the direction of the grain.
