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

Produced during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), Edwardian pedestal desks typically feature a rectangular writing surface set above two vertical columns of drawers with a central kneehole aperture. They often blend classical Georgian influences with lighter proportions and mahogany or satinwood veneers.

Edwardian cabinetmakers predominantly used solid mahogany, walnut, and oak, frequently embellished with decorative flame mahogany veneers. Drawer interiors were commonly lined with oak or pine, and writing surfaces featured gold-tooled leather or baize inserts alongside cast brass handles.

Authentic Edwardian desks demonstrate hand-cut or fine machine-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass locks with keyholes, and period-appropriate brass handles. Timber displays genuine patina, natural wear around the plinth base or feet, and age-related character to the wood grain.

Position the desk as a focal point in a dedicated home office or library, paired with a modern desk lamp and an ergonomic leather chair. Balance the dark mahogany wood tones with neutral wall colours, contemporary artwork, or minimalist glass accessories.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a beeswax polish along the wood grain several times a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer cracking or finish fading.
