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 bombe marquetry bureau is an 18th-century slant-front writing desk characterised by a convex, swelling lower section containing drawers and decorated with intricate decorative wood inlays.

These pieces were typically constructed from mahogany or walnut casing, decorated with fruitwood and boxwood marquetry, and finished with hand-cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period bureaux display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, uneven timber wear, natural shrinkage lines in the veneers, and original cast brass hardware.

A marquetry bureau works well as a focal piece in a home office or living room, paired with contemporary lighting and neutral wall finishes to highlight the wood patterns.

Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid veneer lifting, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply paste wax annually.
