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 18th-century France and popularised during the Victorian era, a bonheur-du-jour is a lightweight writing desk featuring an elevated superstructure with small drawers, cupboards, or mirrored niches.

These desks were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, decorated with satinwood or boxwood marquetry inlays and finished with brass galleries and cast metal handles.

Authentic pieces feature classical marquetry motifs such as urns, swags, and scrollwork, slender square tapered legs, hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, and original brass gallery rails along the top.

Position the desk against a neutral painted wall or within a window alcove, pairing it with clean-lined contemporary seating and minimal desk accessories to highlight the intricate woodwork.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice per year, ensuring the desk is kept away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
