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

Queen Anne style bureaux typically feature graceful cabriole legs, pad or claw-and-ball feet, and figured wood veneers such as walnut or burr walnut. Originating in the early eighteenth century, this style favours curvilinear forms, subtle carving at the knee, and functional drop-front writing surfaces.

These bureaux were constructed using a solid timber frame, often pine or oak, overlaid with delicate veneers of walnut, burr walnut, or fruitwoods. Decorative marquetry panels utilised contrasting woods or stained timbers to create intricate floral, seaweed, or scroll patterns.

Authentic period bureaux feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, natural shrinkage signs along timber construction, and period brass escutcheons or drop handles. Uneven patination, historic wood oxidisation, and hand-carved detailing on cabriole legs also signal age.

A slim writing bureau works well as a focal functional piece in a hallway, alcove, or modern home office. Pairing the warm walnut tones and detailed marquetry with a minimalist neutral backdrop highlights the craftsmanship while keeping the space uncluttered.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to prevent scratch build-up on delicate veneers. Apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally following the grain, and position the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting or fading.
