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 secretaire a abattant is a tall, French-style writing cabinet characterised by a vertical drop-front flap that opens to reveal a writing surface and small interior drawers, positioned above a base section containing drawers or a cupboard.

Pieces from this period were commonly constructed using a solid pine or oak carcass veneered with woods such as rosewood, kingwood, or tulipwood, decorated with marquetry inlays and finished with cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-carved floral marquetry inlays, natural wood grain variation, original lock mechanisms, and light oxidisation on the metal fittings and drawer linings.

This versatile piece serves as both a decorative focal point and a compact workspace, functioning well against a neutral accent wall in a home office, hallway, or living area alongside modern minimalist or classic furnishings.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically to nourish the veneer, while avoiding direct sunlight, humidity fluctuations, and harsh chemical cleaners.
