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.
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.
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.

Originating from the early 18th century, a George I bureau is a slant-front writing desk built with an angled fall-front flap that opens to reveal a fitted interior workspace above stacked drawers.

These pieces were primarily constructed using native oak or pine carcases veneered with figure-matched walnut, often featuring crossbanding, herringbone inlay, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, oak-lined drawer interiors, original iron locks, period-correct brass drop handles, and bracket feet.

A traditional bureau serves as a compact home office desk in a study or living area, pairing effectively with modern neutral palettes and minimalist task lighting.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dust surfaces with a soft dry cloth, and apply natural beeswax polish occasionally to protect the original patinated surface.
