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 tables often feature elaborate wood veneers, such as burr walnut or mahogany, combined with ornate carved details and leather inset writing surfaces reflecting the craftsmanship of the 19th century.

These pieces typically utilised secondary timbers like pine or oak for structural stability, faced with decorative veneers such as burr walnut, and finished with tooled leather inserts and brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional wood shrinkage patterns, patination consistent with age, and construction methods characteristic of 19th-century cabinet making.

Pairing a historic wooden desk with contemporary minimalist seating or placing it against a neutral wall creates a balanced focal point that highlights its rich texture and historical character.

Maintain wood surfaces using microcrystalline wax to nourish the grain, and clean leather inserts with a dry or barely damp cloth, avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
