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

Victorian pedestal desks typically feature a three-part modular construction comprising a flat writing top set across two supporting columns of drawers, often incorporating an inset leather writing surface and brass fittings.

These pieces were predominantly crafted using solid mahogany or oak framing with decorative veneers, hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, and cast brass drop handles or turn knobs.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass locks, natural timber shrinkage marks, and historical wear along the plinth base and kneehole edges.

A antique pedestal desk can be integrated into contemporary spaces by pairing it with streamlined modern task lighting, minimal desk accessories, and a neutral backdrop to highlight the dark timber tones.

Maintain the timber by regularly applying natural beeswax along the grain, keep the leather inset conditioned with specialised leather cream, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
