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

Originating in the 18th century, a Dutch bombe bureau bookcase is a two-part furniture piece featuring a curved, outward-swelling lower chest of drawers surmounted by a slant-front writing bureau and an upper cabinet section for books or display.

These pieces typically utilise high-grade walnut, mahogany, or marquetry veneers over solid oak frames, decorated with intricate inlay work depicting botanical or avian motifs, hand-dovetailed drawer construction, and cast brass hardware.

Key indicators include hand-carved claw feet, distinct swelling sides on the lower base section, oak secondary timber, hand-cut dovetail joints, and intricate marquetry or crossbanded veneers consistent with 18th-century cabinetmaking.

Position the bureau as a focal point against a neutral wall in a library, hallway, or living space, pairing it with understated modern lighting and minimal decorative objects to highlight the rich timber grain and carved contours.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent wood movement and veneer lifting, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to preserve the finish.
