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 1920s British oak writing bureau typically features a sloping fall-front lid that opens to reveal writing compartments, positioned above storage drawers. Influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, these pieces emphasise utility, solid oak construction, and clean structural proportions.

Bureaux from this era feature solid oak framing, hand-fitted dovetail drawer joints, turned legs connected by a perimeter stretcher, and traditional wooden turn-knobs. The sloped fall-front lid is designed to open onto retractable timber lopers.

Authentic pieces often retain maker discs or Ivorette labels inside drawers or on the rear panel. Examination of drawer lining timber, hand-cut dovetails, original lock mechanisms, and natural oxidation on turned stretchers helps verify period authenticity.

Position the bureau as a compact workspace in a home office, hallway, or living room alcove. Pair it with a contemporary task lamp, ceramic accessories, and modern wall artwork to complement the warm oak tones.

Keep the oak surface clean by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying clear beeswax periodically along the timber grain. Avoid placing the furniture near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight to prevent timber movement and finish degradation.
