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

French writing desks of the 18th and 19th centuries, such as the bonheur du jour or sloping bureau, feature refined proportions, detailed veneer marquetry, and cast bronze or ormolu mounts.

These pieces typically feature an oak or pine frame veneered with exotic kingwood, intricate floral marquetry inlays in contrasting woods, and gilt-bronze (ormolu) decorative mounts.

Look for hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast and hand-chased gilt-bronze mounts exhibiting subtle wear, and natural timber shrinkage along veneer lines consistent with age.

Position the bureau as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living room nook, pairing it with neutral wall colours and contemporary accent lighting to highlight the marquetry.

Dust timber surfaces with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain; avoid chemical polishes on ormolu mounts to preserve the delicate original gilding and patina.
