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.

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 kneehole desk is a compact form of writing cabinet introduced in the early eighteenth century, characterised by a flat top surface, a central recessed cupboard or kneehole space for legroom, and banks of drawers on either side.

Traditional Georgian kneehole desks were crafted using solid hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer linings, oak or pine secondary woods, and cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass batwing or drop handles, hand-planed drawer bottoms, and signs of age-appropriate oxidisation and wear within the central recess and drawer interiors.

A mahogany kneehole desk functions effectively in contemporary homes as a compact home office desk, an entryway console table, or a bedroom vanity unit paired with a modern framed mirror.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and radiator heat sources.
