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 walnut bureau is a traditional writing desk featuring a slanted fall-front lid over a chest of graduated drawers. Originating in the 18th century, these pieces combine secure storage with an integrated writing surface supported by retractable lopers.

These bureaus were constructed using solid walnut or walnut veneers applied over pine or oak carcases, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pierced brass handles, decorative escutcheons, and shaped bracket feet.

Authentic 18th-century bureaus display hand-planed timber, irregular dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer lining, and age-related oxidisation on original brass hardware and lock plates.

A Georgian bureau can be placed in a home office or living room, paired with contemporary lighting or kept closed to serve as a functional accent chest with storage.

Preserve walnut furniture by positioning it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting with a soft cloth, and applying beeswax periodically to protect the timber.
