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

A Dutch marquetry bureau typically features intricate wood veneer inlays depicting botanical motifs, urns, and scrollwork, often set upon graceful cabriole legs with curved fall-front or cylinder lids dating from the 18th century.

Craftsmen predominantly used native and imported hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and fruitwoods, employing timber veneers cut into precise decorative patterns glued onto a solid wooden carcass.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, unevenness in veneer thickness from hand-sawing, historical wear on drawer runners, and natural oxidisation of the internal carcass timber.

Positioning a detailed marquetry bureau against a neutral wall in a study or hallway allows its detailed woodwork to serve as a focal point alongside modern minimalist lighting and understated accessories.

Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent timber shrinkage or veneer lifting, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying beeswax sparingly.
