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

The slant-front bureau emerged during the late 17th century as writing became a primary form of communication, combining a chest of drawers with a pull-down writing surface and internal pigeonholes.

These pieces were crafted predominantly from solid English oak, utilising hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged mortise-and-tenon frame joinery, and cast brass drop handles with escutcheons.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-planed timber surfaces, uneven back boards, hand-forged iron nails, and natural timber shrinkage along drawer linings and panel joints.

An oak bureau functions well in a contemporary study, hallway, or living room alcove, contrasting rich timber textures against neutral wall colours and muted upholstery.

Preserve the timber finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice per year, keeping the piece away from direct radiators.
