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

Emerging in the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco writing bureaus feature clean geometric silhouettes, contrasting wood veneers, and functional interiors designed for home organisation.

Cabinetmakers typically utilised rich wood veneers such as walnut, mahogany, or satinwood over solid timber frames, often incorporating dovetailed drawer joints and metal or bakelite fittings.

Look for signature design features including book-matched geometric veneer patterns, fall-front writing flaps with stay hinges, pigeonhole internal fittings, and period-appropriate lock mechanisms.

Position the bureau in a quiet alcove or home office, pairing its dark timber tones with streamlined modern lighting and subtle brass accents to accentuate its geometric form.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish twice yearly, keeping the furniture away from direct sunlight and radiator heat to prevent veneer lifting.
