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 writing tables are mid-to-late nineteenth-century functional desks designed primarily for personal correspondence. They typically feature turned legs, integrated drawers for stationery, and a gilt-tooled leather writing surface set into a timber frame.

These desks are predominantly constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, satinwood, or oak. The top surface often incorporates a gold-tooled leather inlay, while drawers utilise hand-cut dovetail joints and brass or ceramic castors on the leg terminations.

Authenticity is verified through construction details including hand-cut dovetail joints inside drawers, original stamped maker marks (such as Heal & Son), solid brass or porcelain castors, and natural wear patterns consistent with nineteenth-century usage.

Due to their compact proportions, these desks function as understated workstations in home offices, narrow hallway console tables, or occasional writing stations within living rooms and bedroom alcoves.

The timber frame should be waxed periodically with high-grade beeswax, while the leather surface requires mild leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Direct exposure to sunlight and heat sources must be avoided to prevent wood warping and leather discolouration.
