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, slant-front writing desk that originated in 18th-century France, specifically proportioned for ladies to write personal correspondence.

These desks are traditionally constructed using fine cabinet woods such as walnut, kingwood, or rosewood, ornamented with floral marquetry inlays and gilt-brass or bronze mounts.

Authentic design elements include slender cabriole legs, hand-fitted marquetry veneers, a sloping fall-front writing flap, and decorative brass mounts attached to the knees and sabots.

Position the desk within a bedroom alcove, hallway, or dressing room nook to create a dedicated writing space, paired with a subtle contemporary accent chair.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally along the wood grain, and position the piece away from direct sunlight or radiators to prevent veneer warping.
