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 pedestal desk is a large free-standing writing desk consisting of a flat top supported by two vertical columns of drawers or cupboards, creating a central kneehole space for the user.

These desks were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, walnut, or rosewood, often accented with gold-leaf tooled leather writing inserts and brass keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic period examples generally dismantle into three distinct sections (the upper top and two supporting pedestals) for transport, and feature hand-cut dovetail joints, solid timber drawer linings, and natural age-related wear to the base plinths.

Place the desk centrally within a dedicated study or home office to showcase the timber grain on all sides, pairing it with modern architectural task lighting, neutral upholstery, and contemporary artwork.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly along the timber grain, while treating the gilt-tooled leather surface with specialised leather conservation balm to prevent cracking.
