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 bureau plat is a French flat-top writing table that originated in the late 17th century, characterised by a large rectangular surface, frieze drawers, and elegant proportions.

These writing tables typically feature fine hardwoods such as kingwood, tulipwood, or mahogany, decorated with floral marquetry, gilt-bronze mounts, and a leather inset writing surface.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, cast and hand-chiselled bronze mounts with natural patination, and fine marquetry or parquetry veneer work.

A French bureau plat functions as a focal statement piece in a contemporary home office or library, contrasted against clean lines and neutral architectural backgrounds.

Keep the desk away from direct heat sources to prevent timber warping, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and nourish the leather writing top with specialist leather conditioner.
