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 Georgian tambour writing desk is an eighteenth to early nineteenth-century cabinet featuring a flexible slatted wooden cover, known as a tambour door, which retracts smoothly to reveal internal writing compartments and drawers.

These desks were typically crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often detailed with boxwood or satinwood string inlay, alongside cast brass hardware and pine or oak secondary drawer linings.

Authentic Georgian examples usually exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass ring handles, hand-planed timber surfaces, and natural wear patterns around the internal mechanism and drawer runners.

A mahogany bureau serves as a functional workspace in a contemporary study or hallway, bringing historical depth when paired with clean-lined modern lighting and neutral colour palettes.

Preserve the finish by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying beeswax occasionally along the grain, while avoiding direct heat sources or high humidity that could warp the wooden slats.
