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

Victorian writing desks typically feature solid mahogany or walnut construction, fitted drawers with hand-cut dovetails, turned or fluted legs, and inset leather writing surfaces known as skivers.

These tables were primarily crafted from solid mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, often incorporating gilt-tooled leather inserts, brass fitments, and ceramic castors.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original castors, hand-turned timber details, and natural age-related patination on the drawer linings and undersides.

A Victorian desk can be integrated into modern spaces alongside neutral wall colours, paired with a contemporary task lamp and a simple modern chair to highlight the mahogany wood tones.

Dust the woodwork regularly and apply beeswax polish occasionally, while keeping the leather inset clean with a slightly damp cloth and applying specialised leather conditioner to prevent drying.
