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

An 18th-century Maltese bureau typically features a sloping fall-front lid revealing a fitted writing interior above drawers, decorated with detailed marquetry inlay using Mediterranean fruitwoods.

Craftsmen constructed these pieces using solid fruitwoods such as olive wood or cherry, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joinery, cast brass hardware, and intricate wood marquetry veneers.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints, slight irregularities in hand-sawn wood veneers, natural timber shrinkage over time, and genuine oxidisation on metal fittings.

A marquetry bureau functions as a focal statement piece in an entrance hall, study, or living area when paired with understated contemporary lighting and simple wall art to accentuate the woodwork.

Maintain stable humidity levels away from direct heat sources, dust gently with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax sparingly once or twice a year.
