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

Popularised during the 19th century, a Victorian pedestal desk features a flat writing top resting upon two separate vertical pedestals containing drawers, divided by a central kneehole for seating.

These desks were crafted using solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers, frequently incorporating gold-tooled leather inserts on the writing surface, solid oak or pine drawer linings, and turned timber or brass hardware.

Authentic furniture by London cabinet makers Edwards & Roberts often bears a stamped signature or brass plaque along the top edge of a drawer, combined with precise dovetail joinery and high-grade mahogany veneers.

Position the desk centrally in a home study or against a neutral wall, pairing it with contemporary task lighting and minimalistic shelving to establish a balance between historical timber work and modern elements.

Dust the wood surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax along the grain periodically, and use a dedicated leather conditioner on the inset writing panel to prevent cracking.
