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 secretaire a abattant is a tall French writing cabinet characterised by a vertical drop-front flap. When opened, the flap forms a flat writing surface and reveals internal compartments, small drawers, and storage pigeonholes.

These cabinets typically feature a solid hardwood framework covered with veneers of kingwood or tulipwood arranged in parquetry or marquetry patterns. Finishes often incorporate cast brass or bronze ormolu mounts, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and marble or polished timber tops.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawed veneers, hand-carved decorative bronze fittings with mercury gilding or natural patination, and hand-cut joinery inside the drawers. The reverse side and interior framing usually show hand-planed timber marks rather than machine-cut edges.

A tall secretaire functions effectively in a hallway, home office, or living room alcove to optimise vertical space. Contrast the intricate parquetry and bronze hardware against plain plaster walls and pair with contemporary table lamps or neutral soft furnishings.

Clean the wood veneer using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly along the grain. Avoid chemical cleaners or metal polish on the brass ormolu mounts, as harsh polishing can strip the historical patina and finish.
