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 bureau plat originated in France during the late 17th century as a large, freestanding writing table designed for placement in the centre of a room rather than against a wall.

These pieces typically feature a solid timber carcase veneered in exotic woods such as kingwood or walnut, complemented by cast brass or gilt bronze ormolu mounts and often a leather writing surface.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased ormolu mounts secured with traditional threaded screws or pegs, hand-cut dovetail joinery in the drawer construction, and natural timber shrinkage consistent with age.

Pairing a highly decorative antique bureau plat with minimalist modern seating or placing it as a focal point in a neutral room creates a striking balance between historical craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood veneer, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the lacquer and ormolu patina.
