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.

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

Originating in the late 17th century, a William and Mary escritoire is a writing cabinet typically featuring a fall-front panel that lowers to reveal a fitted interior of small drawers and pigeonholes, positioned above a chest of drawers.

These pieces were predominantly crafted using walnut and burr walnut veneers applied over oak carcasses, often accented with crossbanding, feather banding, and cast brass handles.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak drawer linings with grain running front-to-back, thick hand-sawn veneers, cushion-moulded frieze drawers, and period brass drop handles.

Position the piece as a focal point against a neutral backdrop in a study, hallway, or living room, pairing it with subtle modern lighting to highlight the wood grain.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent veneer movement, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply beeswax polish periodically.
