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

Popularised in the 19th century, kidney-shaped desks feature a concave front designed to allow the user to sit closer to the writing surface, often rendered in figured veneers such as burr walnut.

Victorian writing desks were commonly constructed from solid woods like oak or mahogany, veneered with decorative burr walnut or rosewood, and topped with gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces display hand-turned details, original brass or ceramic castors, aged patination on timber, and hand-tooled leather insets showing natural wear.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office or living area, pairing it with contemporary lighting and minimalist seating to balance historical character with modern functionality.

Maintain burr walnut by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying a high-quality beeswax paste periodically, and keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
