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.

This Edwardian perpetual desk calendar dates from around 1910 and belongs to the gentleman's library style. Constructed from solid figured oak with a rich medium brown polish, the piece incorporates glass windows, printed linen spools, and wooden hardware. Specific visible details include a bevelled cap top, moulded corners, three glazed viewing windows displaying Sunday, March 10, four small turned adjustment knobs projecting from the sides, and a moulded pedestal base. The body measures 16.5 cm high, 11.5 cm wide, and 6.5 cm deep. Positioned on a flat surface, the compact accessory functions practically in a modern home office or study. Placed on an executive desk, library table, or shelving unit, the mechanism permits daily manual adjustments using the side knobs. The warm timber tones integrate easily into traditional or contemporary workspaces, offering both decorative interest and operational utility for managing dates.

FAQs

Designed during the early twentieth century, an Edwardian perpetual desk calendar is a mechanical date-keeping device crafted to adjust endlessly without needing annual replacement.

These items were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, utilising internal wooden spindles, printed linen or paper date scrolls, and turned adjustment knobs.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct typography, hand-turned timber knobs, natural age-related patination on the wood, and evidence of hand-assembled internal roller mechanisms.

Position the calendar on a modern executive desk, a hallway console, or a bookshelf alongside period brass deskware to create a classic study aesthetic.

Dust the wooden exterior regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid exposing the internal printed scrolls to direct sunlight or high humidity to prevent fabric degradation.
