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 escritoire is a specialized type of writing cabinet featuring a fall-front door that folds down to provide a flat writing surface, enclosing a fitted interior of small drawers and pigeonholes above a chest base.

Early eighteenth-century pieces were primarily constructed using walnut or burr walnut veneers laid over oak or pine carcasses, frequently featuring crossbanding, feather banding, and cast brass drop handles.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, natural wear on the bracket feet, and original cast brass escutcheons or drop handles.

An escritoire works as a focal point in a formal study, living area, or hallway, offering practical concealed storage while providing a strong visual contrast against neutral walls.

Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement, dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply a clear beeswax polish sparingly.
