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 Victorian burr walnut secretaire bookcase is a multi-functional 19th-century cabinet featuring an upper glazed bookcase, a drop-front or drawer secretaire desk section, and a lower storage cupboard, faced in figurative burr walnut veneers.

These pieces typically feature an oak or pine carcass overlaid with rich burr walnut or mahogany veneers, complemented by clear glass panels, brass locks, and solid wood drawer linings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass lock mechanisms, subtle surface patina from natural wear, and distinct figurative burr patterns formed from tree root grain.

Position the piece as a focal point in a study or living space, using the upper display section for curated ceramics and books while utilizing the fold-out writing surface for a compact workspace.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
