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 Georgian elm bureau is an 18th or early 19th-century writing cabinet featuring a sloped fall-front lid that opens to reveal an interior fitted with small drawers and pigeonholes, set above a chest of drawers constructed from native English elm.

Georgian bureaux feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, solid wood drawer linings, hand-forged iron nails, brass swan-neck handles, and heavy bracket feet supporting the frame.

Authenticity is indicated by irregular hand-sawn timber marks, natural wood shrinkage around drawer bottoms, cast brass hardware with threaded posts and square nuts, and hand-cut joinery consistent with 18th-century cabinetmaking.

A writing bureau functions well as a dedicated work desk in a home office or living area, providing concealed storage for modern electronics while bringing warmth and character to contemporary schemes.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent shrinking or splitting.
