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 Georgian bureau is an eighteenth-century slope-front writing desk featuring a hinged fall-front panel that opens to reveal an interior writing surface and small drawers, situated above a chest of drawers.

Cabinetmakers constructed Georgian bureaux using solid native timbers such as oak or pine for the secondary internal framing, veneered with figured hardwoods such as yew, walnut, or mahogany, and finished with brass handles.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, hand-planed timber back panels, natural wear around handles, and age-appropriate timber shrinkage.

Position the bureau as a focal point in a study, hallway, or living space, pairing warm timber tones with modern artwork, simple ceramics, or neutral wall finishes to highlight the wood grain.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood warping and veneer lift, dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying clear beeswax periodically.
