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.
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.

A chamber writing table is a compact 19th-century writing desk originally designed for private bedrooms or dressing rooms, featuring a flat writing surface and one or two integrated drawers.

19th-century writing tables were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or walnut, utilizing hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic 19th-century pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, natural oxidisation on original brass fittings, stamped maker marks or drawer labels, and proportional hand-turned legs.

A mahogany writing table can serve as a streamlined home office desk, an entryway console table, or a dressing table, paired with contemporary lighting and neutral decorative accessories.

Maintain the polished finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
