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 in the 18th century during the reign of King George III, a kneehole desk features a central recessed opening flanked by vertical banks of drawers, providing legroom and compact storage.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring secondary timbers such as oak or pine for drawer linings, along with cast brass drop handles.

Authentic 18th-century desks typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hardware secured with rear nuts, hand-planed drawer bottoms, and natural surface patination.

A mahogany kneehole desk functions as a dedicated workspace in a home office or library, or serves as an occasional console table in a hallway or living room setting.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber finish, ensuring the desk is kept clear of direct heat sources and high humidity.
