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

Originating in the 18th century, a Georgian walnut writing bureau features a sloping fall-front desk lid that opens to reveal internal compartments and drawers, situated above a series of storage drawers.

These pieces were commonly built with solid oak or pine carcasses veneered in figured walnut, often accentuated with feather banding, crossbanding, and cast brass handles.

Authentic period bureaux display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, oak or pine drawer linings, period-appropriate brass escutcheons, and natural wood shrinkage marks around the joints.

A Georgian bureau functions as a compact workstation in a study or hallway, bringing warm timber tones that contrast effectively alongside contemporary task lighting and minimalist seating.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement or veneer lifting, and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically to preserve the finish.
