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 early 18th-century Queen Anne bureau is constructed from figured walnut with brass hardware and an oak interior lining. Rendered in a warm golden brown timber, the piece has a slanted fall-front writing flap above two short drawers and two long drawers, all framed by cockbeading and fitted with drop handles and escutcheons. The exterior displays quarter-veneered panels with feather banding, complemented by shaped bracket feet at the base. Visible details include grain figuring across the fall-front and drawer faces, brass lock plates, and bracket supports. Measuring 99 cm high, 97 cm wide, and 52 cm deep, this writing desk fits comfortably against a wall in a study, drawing room, or hallway. The fall-front opens to create a writing surface, making the desk practical for everyday correspondence or laptop use in a traditional or contemporary home setting. The lower drawers provide enclosed storage for stationery, documents, and household items, keeping surfaces clear.

FAQs

Originating in the early 18th century during the reign of Queen Anne, this style of bureau typically features a sloping fall-front writing surface over a chest of drawers, crafted predominantly from native walnut with figured or burr veneers.

These pieces feature solid oak or pine carcases veneered with highly figured walnut, often enhanced with crossbanding borders, dovetail jointed drawers, and hand-cast brass hardware.

Authentic period examples display hand-sawn drawer linings, oak or pine secondary woods, original brass drop handles with split-pin fixings, and natural age-related oxidisation on unpolished surfaces.

A traditional writing bureau functions effectively as a compact home office workspace in a living room or study, offering concealed storage while serving as a focal accent piece.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to preserve the timber finish.
