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.

This Arts and Crafts bureau cabinet is a mahogany writing desk from 1900 in a warm brown timber colour. The upper section comprises a galleried top with turned finials above two leaded glass cabinet doors with brass drop handles, flanking a central open niche, and two small drawers with round brass handles below. The desk has a steeply angled fall front featuring stylised botanical carving in the Art Nouveau style, which opens to reveal a fitted interior and a leather insert writing surface. Below the writing slope sits a single long drawer fitted with circular brass ring handles and a carved central rosette, flanked by pierced side panels on standard ends. The lower structure includes an open shaped shelf supported by carved uprights. Measuring 142.8 cm high, 78.7 cm wide, and 45.7 cm deep, this versatile writing desk suits placement in a home study, library, bedroom, or living room as a functional workspace and display cabinet. The piece provides compact surface space for writing alongside enclosed storage behind the glazed doors and lower drawers.

FAQs

Originating in the late nineteenth century, Arts and Crafts furniture emphasizes traditional craftsmanship, structural honesty, and functional utility, often incorporating hand-carved botanical motifs and visible joinery.

These bureaux commonly utilize solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, featuring dovetailed drawer joints, hand-turned or carved details, leaded glass panels, and solid brass or copper hardware.

Look for stylised naturalistic or geometric carvings, solid timber secondary woods inside drawers, period-appropriate brass drop handles, and honest joinery techniques rather than modern fasteners.

Position the piece against a neutral wall as a dedicated writing space or compact home office, paired with contemporary desk accessories and a subtle task lamp to highlight the carved woodwork.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish occasionally, keeping the timber clear of direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to avoid drying or fading.
