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 cylinder bureau is distinguished by a curved wooden shutter that rotates upward around a fixed axis to reveal an internal writing surface, small drawers, and compartments. Popularised in Western Europe during the mid-to-late 18th century, these desks frequently integrate lower chest drawers and detailed marquetry inlays.

Primary carcasses were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. Decorative surface marquetry incorporated contrasting timbers like fruitwood, boxwood, sycamore, and ebony, alongside cast brass handles and key escutcheons.

Authentic 18th-century construction features hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular secondary timber drawer linings, and hand-sawn veneers. Inlaid marquetry displays subtle surface variations, historic timber shrinkage, and natural oxidation across the finish.

An antique bureau functions as a central statement piece in a study, drawing room, or hallway when balanced against modern neutral backdrops. The cylinder front provides concealed storage for modern office accessories while maintaining a historic profile.

Maintain stable ambient humidity and temperature to prevent timber shrinkage and veneer lifting. Dust the surface with a soft dry cloth and apply a thin coat of natural beeswax polish annually to protect the finish.
