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 George III period spans from 1760 to 1811, characterised by refined classical proportions, classical revival motifs, and the prominent use of high-quality imported timbers such as mahogany.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames with figured mahogany veneers, dovetailed drawer construction, oak drawer linings, and cast brass swan-neck handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage consistent with age, period brass hardware with correct patination, and secondary woods like Scots pine or oak.

An antique bureau works well as a functional workspace or feature piece in a study, living room, or hallway, pairing effectively with contemporary minimalist seating to create a balanced contrast.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking or veneer lifting, and maintain the finish by occasionally applying traditional beeswax.
