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

Georgian kneehole desks emerged during the 18th century in Great Britain, designed primarily for writing, correspondence, and managing household accounts with a compact, compartmentalised layout.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or oak timbers, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, solid brass swing handles, and bracket feet.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, subtle timber shrinkage, original brass hardware or properly filled old escutcheon holes, and natural beeswax patination rather than modern finishes.

A classic wooden desk provides a grounding focal point in a contemporary study or living room, pairing effectively with minimalist lighting and contrasting modern seating to balance historical character with current aesthetics.

Preservation involves maintaining stable room humidity, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, dusting with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the wood surface.
