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 Dutch marquetry block-front bureau is a slant-front writing desk originating from the Netherlands, characterised by intricate floral wood inlays and an undulating, contoured drawer front profile.

These bureaus predominantly feature figured walnut veneers laid over pine or oak framing, with contrasting hardwood inlays creating detailed floral patterns, leaves, and vase motifs.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, natural timber shrinkage over time, hand-carved block-front shaping, and fine floral marquetry executed with varied wood species.

Position the bureau as a focal statement piece in a study, hallway, or living room, balancing its ornate inlaid patterns against plain walls and contemporary lighting.

Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement, and periodically apply a high-quality beeswax polish using a soft microfibre cloth.
