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

A pedestal desk consists of a flat writing surface resting on two vertical banks of drawers, known as pedestals, surrounding a central kneehole. Popularised in 18th-century England, this design provided structural stability and storage for executive offices and studies.

These desks were typically constructed using solid English oak or oak veneers over pine frames, complemented by solid brass drop handles. The writing surface frequently features an inset leather skiver, often detailed with blind or gold tooling along the border.

Authentic antique pieces display hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, original brass backplates or mortise locks, and wear on the unpainted drawer runners. Unfinished timber interiors and hand-turned screws further indicate period construction.

Position the desk centrally in a home library or study room to highlight its profile. Pair it with a modern leather office chair and simple brass task lighting to balance traditional woodwork with contemporary accents.

Clean the timber surfaces using a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Treat the inset leather skiver with a dedicated leather conditioner to maintain flexibility, avoiding harsh chemicals or excess moisture.
