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 bonheur du jour is a type of small writing desk that originated in France during the eighteenth century. It typically features a fall-front writing surface combined with an upper superstructure containing small cabinets, drawers, or mirrors.

Victorian examples commonly utilized figured walnut, mahogany, or rosewood veneers over solid hardwood frames. Decorative detailing often incorporated floral marquetry inlays of boxwood or fruitwood, along with gilt-metal mounts and glass cabinet panels.

Authentic pieces display period construction indicators such as hand-cut dovetail joints on internal drawers, original cast brass mounts with natural oxidisation, original bevelled or antique mirror plate, and hand-cut wood veneers showing subtle variations in grain.

This piece functions as a decorative accent desk in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway alcove. Placing minimal contemporary accessories on top creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Preserve the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer lifting or wood movement.
