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 France during the reign of King Louis Philippe from 1830 to 1848, this style is characterised by clean lines, soft rounded corners, smooth ogee mouldings, and rich wood veneers such as flame mahogany or walnut, emphasizing functional simplicity and restrained elegance.

These cabinets are typically constructed with solid wood frameworks faced in figure-matched flame mahogany or walnut veneers, topped with fitted natural marble slabs and containing leather-lined drop-front writing surfaces alongside internal drawer compartments.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joinery within the drawer linings, original brass escutcheons with functional locks, hand-planed rear casing panels, and precise fitting between the drop-front flap and frame.

Position the secretaire as a focal piece against a neutral wall in a study, hallway, or living space, pairing its deep mahogany tones with modern artwork while using its pull-down section as an enclosed home office workstation.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain of the mahogany veneer, ensuring the marble top is cleaned with non-acidic, pH-neutral solutions to avoid etching.
