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 Edwardian cylinder bureau dates from circa 1910 in the English Country House style. Constructed from warm brown solid figured mahogany with satinwood crossbanded borders, the piece incorporates swan-neck brass handles on the two top drawers, the large central drawer under the fall front, and an intricate marquetry urn and floral inlay across the curved cylinder front. The structure stands on square tapered legs joined by stretchers near the base. Visible details include key escutcheons on the drawers and fine banding framing the panels. Measuring 95 cm high, 75 cm wide, and 48.5 cm deep, this writing desk fits comfortably in a home study, library, or living room as a practical workspace or decorative writing station. The stable, heavy build provides a functional writing surface while offering storage space within the drawers and the internal compartments of the cylinder bureau.

FAQs

Edwardian cylinder bureaux are defined by their curved roll-down wooden fronts, lighter proportions compared to Victorian predecessors, and extensive use of inlay, crossbanding, and marquetry influenced by 18th-century Sheraton designs.

These bureaux were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, adorned with satinwood or boxwood inlays, floral marquetry, and fitted with cast brass handles and keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished dovetail jointing on drawers, original brass lock mechanisms, precise veneer work, and natural signs of age such as slight patination on exposed timber and brassware.

A slim cylinder bureau functions well in a contemporary home office, hallway, or living room alcove, providing a compact workspace while serving as an accent piece alongside clean-lined furniture.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying high-grade beeswax twice a year in the direction of the grain, while avoiding direct sunlight and proximity to heat sources to prevent timber cracking or veneer lifting.
