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 traditional French pedestal desk features a flat rectangular writing surface supported by two vertical columns of drawers. Designed for executive or study spaces, these desks typically incorporate detailed moulding, high-quality timber veneers like mahogany, pull-out extension slides, and leather writing tops.

These desks are predominantly constructed using solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcass frames. Additional traditional elements include hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, brass keyhole escutcheons, and iron drawer lock mechanisms.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-drawn dovetail joints inside the drawers, natural timber patination or fading, original lock hardware, and historical wear along the base and writing surface frame.

Position the desk centrally in a home study or library space to showcase its finished reverse side. Contrast the dark wood and historic structure with clean contemporary task lighting and mid-century or modern upholstered office seating.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish the timber surfaces periodically with natural beeswax to preserve the patina. Treat the leather writing inset with a specialized leather conditioner and position the desk away from direct sunlight to manage timber fading.
