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.
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.
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.

A cylinder bureau, historically known as a bureau a cylindre, is a writing desk featuring a rigid curved wooden shutter that rolls back into the frame to reveal small drawers, pigeonholes, and a retractable writing surface.

These bureaux were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, frequently decorated with cast brass or gilt-bronze mountings, brass stringing, and topped with marble or wood surrounded by a pierced brass gallery.

Authentic Louis XVI style examples exhibit neoclassical symmetry, linear silhouettes, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, fluted tapering legs, and solid brass or gilt-bronze architectural mounts.

Place the bureau as a focal piece against a neutral wall in a study, library, or hallway, paired with contemporary table lighting and abstract wall art to balance historic craft with modern interior elements.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply high-grade beeswax sparingly along the grain of the wood, ensuring brass mountings remain free from harsh chemical cleaners that could strip original patination.
