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

Satinwood writing tables emerged in popularity during the late eighteenth century, prized for their golden lustre and fine grain. These refined pieces typically feature a leather writing surface, single or double drawers, and slender tapered legs suitable for elegant drawing rooms or libraries.

High-end examples utilise West Indian or East Indian satinwood veneers over solid hardwood frames, often featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints. Writing surfaces are frequently inset with gilded leather tooling, accompanied by cast brass hardware such as swan-neck or bail handles.

Authentic pieces often bear a stamped maker mark on the top drawer edge, along with precise dovetailing and solid drawer linings such as mahogany or cedar. Check for original brassware, proper timber patination beneath the frame, and smooth drawer action without modern mechanical glides.

Position the table in a sunlit alcove or dedicated study paired with a contemporary upholstered task chair to balance modern comfort with period craftsmanship. It can also function as a compact console table in an entrance hall or as a vanity table in a bedroom.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish annually, working along the wood grain. Keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber movement, veneer lifting, or fading of the leather skiver.
