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 bureau bookcase is a dual-purpose piece of case furniture featuring a slanted fall-front writing desk atop a chest of drawers, surmounted by a two-door cabinet or bookcase unit.

These pieces typically feature walnut or burr walnut veneers laid over a solid pine or oak carcase, accompanied by mirrored glass or glazed doors and cast brass ironmongery.

Authentic period examples often demonstrate hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, period-appropriate brass drop handles, and hand-bevelled mirror plates showing age-appropriate silvering wear.

A walnut bureau bookcase serves as an architectural focal point in a formal study, living room, or hallway, offering concealed workstation functionality alongside display space.

Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement, and clean the wood using a high-grade beeswax polish applied sparingly with a soft cloth.
