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 18th century during the reign of Louis XV, these writing tables, often termed bureaux plats, are characterised by asymmetrical curves, serpentine tops, slender cabriole legs, and intricate marquetry or parquetry wood veneers.

Craftsmen typically utilised fine hardwoods such as walnut, kingwood, rosewood, and fruitwoods for the decorative marquetry inlay, finished with cast brass or bronze mounts to protect the lower feet.

Authentic pieces feature handmade dovetail joints, original wooden pegged construction, hand-cut wood veneers forming intricate scrolling patterns, and brass or bronze sabots showing natural age-related patination.

Position the table as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom alcove, or study, paired with a modern neutral chair or contemporary artwork to contrast the detailed wood inlay and curved silhouette.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting or fading, dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to protect the wood finish.
