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.

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

Edwardian marquetry writing desks, created between 1901 and 1910, frequently draw inspiration from eighteenth-century Neoclassical and Sheraton designs. They feature detailed wood veneer inlays of floral motifs, swags, and ribbons, alongside practical features such as raised stationery superstructures and leather writing tops.

These desks are predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or rosewood, lined with contrasting satinwood or boxwood marquetry. The writing surface typically incorporates gold-tooled leather, while drawer fittings and gallery rails are made from cast brass.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, genuine brass castors fitted to tapered legs, and natural patina on the mahogany wood. The underside of the carcass will show hand-planed timber surfaces consistent with early twentieth-century cabinetmaking.

Position the desk against a neutral wall in a study, hallway, or living room to highlight its rich mahogany tones. Pair it with a contemporary desk lamp and simple modern seating to create a balanced blend of period detailing and contemporary design.

Clean timber and veneer surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the grain. Keep the desk away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent the wood inlays from lifting or fading.
