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 evolved in the late 17th and early 18th centuries from the writing cabinet, gaining popularity as literacy and commerce expanded, requiring dedicated domestic furniture for correspondence and document storage.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid English oak, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, panelled construction to accommodate wood movement, and brass batwing or plate handles.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, tool marks from hand planes, shrinkage cracks in the timber, and original or period-replacement brass hardware.

An antique oak bureau can be integrated into contemporary spaces by pairing it with minimalist seating, using it as a functional work-from-home station, or contrasting its warm timber tones with neutral walls.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
