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.

A 1920s Queen Anne revival writing bureau combines eighteenth-century design elements, such as cabriole legs, drop-down slant fronts, and figured walnut veneers, with early twentieth-century manufacturing techniques.

Bureaus from the 1920s frequently utilised solid oak or pine secondary timbers faced with decorative burr walnut veneers, featuring dovetail drawer joints and solid brass drop handles.

Look for signs of age including natural patination, hand-cut or machine-assisted dovetails consistent with the 1920s, original steel locks, and authentic wear patterns around the writing flap and drawer bases.

Position the bureau in a hallway, alcove, or study nook as a compact workstation, pairing the rich wood tones with neutral wall palettes or contemporary desk accessories.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish regularly along the grain using a soft cloth, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and fading.
