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 kneehole desk is a compact eighteenth-century writing table featuring two pedestals of drawers with a recessed central space, often containing a small cupboard, designed for comfortable seated work.

Georgian kneehole desks were primarily constructed using dense hardwoods such as Cuban or Honduran mahogany, often incorporating hand-dovetailed oak or pine drawer linings and cast brass handles.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass backplate handles, hand-planed secondary timbers, and shaped bracket feet.

Position the desk against a feature wall or beneath a window in a home study, pairing it with a tailored leather swivel chair and classic lighting to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern utility.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply a beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once or twice a year, avoiding direct sunlight and proximity to radiator heat sources.
