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 bonheur du jour is a small type of ladies writing desk that originated in Paris during the 1760s. It typically features a flat writing surface with a raised cabinet, shelves, or small drawers positioned against the back.

Edwardian cabinetmakers frequently utilised dense, richly grained hardwoods such as rosewood and mahogany, detailed with satinwood or boxwood marquetry inlays and brass castors.

Authentic Edwardian pieces exhibit hand-cut marquetry inlays, period-appropriate dovetail drawer construction, original brass hardware, and slender tapered legs consistent with early 20th-century design.

Position this small desk in a quiet alcove, hallway, or bedroom corner to function as a compact work surface or accent table, balancing the detailed marquetry against neutral walls.

Dust the surface regularly using a clean, soft dry cloth. Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent drying, cracking, or fading of the delicate wood veneers.
