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.

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

Introduced in 18th-century France and adopted during the English Regency period, a bonheur du jour is a compact writing desk with a raised cabinet or bookcase superstructure at the back, designed for personal correspondence.

Regency examples typically feature mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood veneers, frequently set with brass wirework grilles, marble surfaces, and turned brass mounts or castors.

Authentic Regency furniture displays hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hardware, natural wood figuring such as fiddleback grain, and proportional slender turned legs.

Position a bonheur du jour in a quiet alcove, dressing room, or entryway alongside a light contemporary chair to complement its classical proportions.

Position mahogany away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber movement, wiping dust away with a microfibre cloth and applying clear beeswax polish periodically.
