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

Originating in late 17th-century England, William and Mary style furniture is characterised by Dutch and Flemish influences, featuring figure-rich veneers such as burr walnut, geometric inlays, turned bun feet, and balanced proportions.

Bureaux from this period were constructed with solid oak or pine carcases veneered in highly figured walnut or burr walnut, accented with herringbone or featherband inlays and cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces display hand-dovetailed drawer joints, thick timber veneers over softwood or oak linings, steel locks, age-appropriate brass handles, and natural wood movement cracks consistent with centuries of aging.

A walnut bureau acts as a functional anchor in modern living rooms, studies, or hallways, pairing effectively with contemporary art, simple neutral walls, and tailored upholstery to balance historic detail with modern lines.

Keep burr walnut furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying and fading. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically along the grain to protect the finish.
