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.

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 buffet desserte is a French open-tiered sideboard or serving table that gained popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries. Designed primarily for dining rooms, these pieces feature upper drawers for cutlery and open lower shelves to display and serve dishes.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid European hardwoods such as walnut or oak, often finished with fitted marble slabs such as Rouge Griotte or Breccia. Construction relied on hand-cut dovetail joints, mortise and tenon joinery, and carved decorative details.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut joinery on drawer linings, hand-planed secondary timber surfaces on cabinet backs, and hand-chiselled underside carvings. Look for natural wear patterns on the drawer runners and age-related variations in the marble slab polishing.

Position the server in an entrance hall, dining area, or living room to add architectural depth to contemporary decor. The open lower shelves provide space for displaying ceramic collections or books, while the marble surface accommodates lamp bases and display items.

Clean marble surfaces with a pH-neutral, non-abrasive stone cleaner to prevent chemical etching on natural minerals. Apply beeswax to the wooden frame twice yearly, buffing along the grain to protect the timber finish and preserve existing patina.
