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

Partners desks were developed in 19th-century Britain to accommodate two people sitting opposite each other, commonly used by bankers, lawyers, and business partners in shared offices.

These desks were typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or oak, featuring hand-tooled leather writing inserts and cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery methods such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawer construction, hand-turned legs, and natural patination on the timber and leather.

A partners desk works effectively as a freestanding centrepiece in a home office, paired with minimalist seating to balance its traditional visual weight.

The wood should be maintained using traditional beeswax to nourish the grain, while the leather insert requires periodic treatment with specialized neutral leather cream to prevent cracking.
