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 bureau on stand is a compact writing cabinet featuring a slanted drop-down flap over drawers, supported by raised legs. Originating in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, this form provided both secure storage and a dedicated writing surface for residential spaces.

Traditional bureaux utilise solid walnut or rich walnut veneers applied over pine or oak carcases. Key construction features include hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, crossbanded drawer edges, and solid brass drop handles with cast backplates.

Authentic period bureaux display signs of age such as natural timber oxidation, hand-planed surfaces, secondary drawer linings of pine or oak, and irregular hand-cut dovetail joinery rather than machine-made uniform joints.

Position the bureau in a hallway, alcove, or home office to create a dedicated working area. Pair the warm timber tones with neutral wall palettes, contemporary table lamps, or minimal ceramic accessories to balance classic and modern aesthetics.

Dust regularly using a clean, soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice per year to preserve the wood finish. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber movement or cracking.
