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

An early Georgian oak bureau typically features a sloped fall-front writing flap supported by pull-out wooden lopers. Below the slant front, the structure usually contains several full-width drawers configured over shaped bracket feet or plinth bases.

Primary construction utilised native hardwoods such as oak or walnut, often paired with secondary woods like pine or oak for drawer linings. Metalwork typically comprised cast brass backplates, drop handles, and iron lock mechanisms.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer construction, hand-sawn timber marks on back panels, and period-appropriate wear around working areas. Brass hardware should show natural oxidation, and drawer bottoms usually feature wide oak planks.

A period bureau functions as a compact workspace within a living room, hallway, or home office. Pairing the textured wood grain with contemporary lighting or modern seating creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and minimalist aesthetics.

Keep oak furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and bleaching. Regular application of beeswax polish feeds the wood surface and protects the historic patina without destroying natural character.
