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.

Georgian bureaux typically feature a sloping drop-front writing flap supported by retractable lopers, concealing an interior arrangement of small drawers and pigeonholes. Originating in the eighteenth century, these designs prioritised compact functionality paired with elegant proportion and figure-rich timber veneers.

Traditional pieces are predominantly crafted from solid walnut or oak, often finished with highly figured burr walnut veneers, crossbanded borders, and solid brass drop handles. Drawers are constructed using hand-cut dovetail joints with oak or pine secondary woods.

Authentic historical pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, uneven hand-cut dovetails, original cast brass hardware, and natural wood shrinkage along the grain over time. The underside and backboards usually reveal un-planed secondary timbers with age-appropriate oxidisation.

A slant-front bureau serves as a functional workspace in a quiet corner, hallway, or study without occupying significant floor area. Pairing the rich warm tones of walnut with neutral wall backdrops creates a balanced focal point in contemporary settings.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year along the wood grain. Avoid positioning the timber near direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight to prevent drying, warping, or veneer lift.
