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 library writing tables are characteristically constructed from high-grade hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, featuring leather-lined writing surfaces, robust turned or carved support legs, and integrated frieze drawers for stationery storage.

These tables commonly feature solid timber or veneer, such as figured burr walnut, alongside hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, brass castors, and hand-dovetailed drawer joints.

Authentic period desks display fine craftsmanship, including crisp hand-cut dovetails, high-quality timber veneers, stamped drawer linings or locks, and original brass fittings.

Position the table as a standalone executive desk in a home office or library, pairing the rich timber tone with contemporary lighting and minimalistic desk accessories for a refined contrast.

Preserve the wood finish by applying high-grade beeswax along the grain, keeping it away from direct heat sources, and treating the leather inset with specialised leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
