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

Nineteenth-century painted writing tables often feature functional additions like a raised gallery back and single drawer, combining practical storage with country house utility.

These pieces were commonly constructed from softwoods like pine, which were then painted to protect the timber or simulate more expensive hardwoods.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, turned wooden knobs, original timber backing, and natural wear to the painted surface.

Position the table as a compact desk in a bedroom or study, paired with a simple wooden chair and minimal ceramic accessories.

Clean gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, which can strip historic paint layers.
