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 de dame is a compact, slant-front ladies writing desk that originated in 18th-century France during the Louis XV period, specifically tailored for writing personal correspondence.

These writing bureaux are typically constructed using rosewood veneers, featuring detailed floral marquetry wood inlays and cast brass or ormolu protective mounts along the legs and edges.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut marquetry inlays, hand-shaped cabriole legs, finely chased gilt-brass or bronze mounts, and hand-dovetailed drawer joints beneath the writing slope.

Position the bureau in a quiet alcove, hallway, or bedroom nook as a functional compact workstation or statement side piece, paired with subtle modern accessories to contrast its ornate profile.

Position the desk away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to avoid veneer movement, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and occasionally apply clear beeswax to nourish the wood finish.
