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

The bureau evolved in late 17th century Europe from a chest of drawers fitted with a sloping writing flap, becoming a staple of domestic and professional life during the 18th century.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid timbers such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and traditional timber framing methods.

Authenticity is identified through hand-planed surfaces, irregular dovetailing, hand-forged or cast brass hardware, timber shrinkage patterns, and period-appropriate locking mechanisms.

Positioning the bureau against a neutral wall allows its historical wood grain and brass hardware to serve as a focal point, pairing effectively with both contemporary and traditional seating.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent splitting, and maintain a stable indoor humidity level while occasionally applying traditional beeswax.
