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 the late 18th century, a cylinder tambour bureau is a writing cabinet featuring a curved roll-top hood made of flexible wooden slats attached to canvas, which slides back along internal grooves to reveal a fitted writing surface and small drawers.

Cabinetmakers primarily constructed these pieces using solid and veneered mahogany, frequently incorporating decorative satinwood or tulipwood marquetry inlays, cast brass drop handles, and solid oak or pine drawer linings.

Authentic late 18th-century pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary timbers on drawer bottoms, hand-planed back panels, and genuine wear patterns on the wooden runner tracks of the tambour mechanism.

Position the bureau as a functional focal point in a study, hallway, or living room, balancing its dark timber tones with neutral wall treatments, modern task lighting, and minimalist decorative accents.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, ensuring the tambour runners remain free of debris.
