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

Originating during the 19th-century reign of Queen Victoria, these writing desks typically feature inset leather writing surfaces, frieze drawers for storage, and sturdy timber construction such as mahogany or walnut.

Craftsmen utilised solid hardwoods including mahogany, walnut, and rosewood, often featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, turned wood knobs, gilt-tooled leather insets, and carved trestle bases.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, original brass or iron locks, genuine leather tops with blind or gold tooling, and natural age-related wear on the timber underside.

Integrate the piece as a standalone focal point in a modern home office, paired with contemporary lighting or modern seating to balance historical character with current aesthetic design.

Maintain the timber by polishing with high-grade beeswax, clean the leather surface with specialised leather conditioner, and position the desk away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or fading.
