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

Pedestal desks evolved during the 18th century, becoming popular in British libraries and studies as a sturdy, multi-drawer workspace for professionals.

These desks were typically constructed from hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or yew, often featuring inset leather or hide writing surfaces with gold tooling.

Authentic period desks show hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, traditional timber shrinkage, and appropriate patination on the hardware and wood finishes.

Pair the traditional wood tones with contemporary minimalist seating and modern lighting to create a balanced study space that highlights the craftsmanship.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a dry cloth and occasionally applying quality beeswax, avoiding direct sunlight and excessive moisture to protect the leather and wood.
