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.

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 an 18th-century piece of furniture featuring a central recessed cupboard or open space for legroom, flanked by vertical banks of small drawers.

These pieces were typically constructed using native softwoods or oak for the secondary carcase, veneered with burr walnut or mahogany, and finished with cast brass hardware.

Authentic George II desks feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, oak secondary drawer linings, natural timber shrinkage along joints, and period-accurate brass batwing escutcheons.

Place the desk against a neutral wall in a study or hallway, pairing it with a contemporary task chair or minimalist table lamp to create visual contrast.

Keep the desk away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer lifting, and clean regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and high-grade beeswax.
