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

A bureau de dame is a compact writing desk originating in 18th-century France, specifically scaled for personal correspondence. These pieces commonly feature decorative floral marquetry inlays, delicate cabriole legs, and drop-front or cylinder writing surfaces.

Victorian makers crafted French-style bureaux using fine timber veneers such as satinwood, kingwood, or rosewood over solid hardwood frames. Decorative elements include contrasting marquetry inlays made from exotic fruitwoods, alongside cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts and galleries.

Authentic 19th-century marquetry pieces display hand-cut timber veneers with subtle surface variations, dovetail drawer joinery, and natural age-related patination on brass mounts. The underside and back boards typically show hand-sawn timber marks rather than modern uniform plywood.

A French marquetry bureau functions well as an accent piece in a study, hallway, or bedroom. Pairing the intricate wood patterns with simple wall finishes and minimalist table lamps creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary decor.

Satinwood marquetry should be kept away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent veneer lifting or fading. Clean the surface by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and apply high-grade beeswax sparingly along the grain to protect the finish.
