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

Designed during the 19th century, a Victorian executive pedestal desk consists of two upright drawer pedestals supporting a wide writing surface, often topped with additional drawers or a gallery superstructure for document storage.

Craftsmen typically utilised solid timber frameworks veneered with highly figured satinwood, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast brass drop handles, and hand-carved decorative pilasters.

Authentic Victorian desks feature hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original cast brass hardware, natural wear along the drawer runners, and wood patination consistent with age.

Pair the desk with a traditional leather office chair or clean contemporary seating, balancing the rich wood tones with neutral wall palettes, modern task lighting, and understated brass accents.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying or cracking.
