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 bureau de dame is a compact form of writing desk designed in 18th and 19th-century France for personal correspondence, characterised by small proportions, elegant legs, and built-in compartments.

High-grade hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and walnut were predominantly used, frequently complemented by gilt-brass fittings, decorative galleries, and hand-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentic period desks exhibit traditional joinery techniques such as hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and age-consistent wear on the frame and writing surface.

Place the desk near natural light in a study, hallway, or living space, pairing it with minimalist seating and subtle decor to highlight its carved timber details.

Dust surfaces regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber cracking or leather damage.
