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

A Georgian kneehole desk is a compact 18th-century writing table featuring a flat surface above a wide central drawer, flanked by two pedestals of drawers with a recessed opening in the centre to accommodate the users legs.

Cabinetmakers during the Georgian period predominantly utilised solid Cuban or West Indian mahogany, frequently paired with oak or pine drawer linings and solid brass cast hardware such as handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer bottoms with wood shrinkage grain aligned correctly, original steel locks, and hand-cast brass swan-neck or batwing handles with original thread marks.

Position the piece in a home library, study, or living room alcove paired with a minimalist modern chair or contemporary brass table lamp to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade bees wax polish sparingly once or twice a year, avoiding placement near direct sunlight, radiators, or damp walls.
