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 19th-century French ladies desk, often created in the Louis XV Revival style, is characterized by its compact proportions, serpentine silhouette, and delicate decorative elements. These pieces were designed specifically for personal correspondence in private sitting rooms or bedrooms, featuring cabriole legs, intricate marquetry, and polished bronze mounts.

These tables are typically constructed using a solid hardwood carcass veneered with figured timbers such as walnut, kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood. Decorative surface patterns employ contrasting wood veneers for marquetry, finished with cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts for corner protection and ornamentation.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-carved joinery, such as hand-cut dovetails on drawer construction, and hand-chased gilding on the ormolu fittings. The underside and unexposed framing will show irregular saw marks consistent with period timber processing, along with natural wood movement and historic patination.

A French inlaid desk can serve as a focal point in a contemporary hallway, living room corner, or master bedroom suite. Its curved lines contrast well against minimalist architectural background elements, functioning as an occasional workspace, console table, or display surface.

Preservation requires keeping the item in a stable climate away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme moisture to prevent veneer lifting. Regular maintenance involves dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly along the grain, while metal mounts should be dusted dry without harsh chemical cleaners.
