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.

This late nineteenth-century French Louis XVI Revival cylinder bureau de dame is fashioned from dark brown mahogany with decorative brass hardware, brass galleries, and painted panels. The piece comprises an upper cabinet with open shelving and a single door enclosing a vertical painted panel of cherubs, sitting above a roll-top desk enclosing a cylinder front with a horizontal painted cherub scene, a pull-out drawer with floral painted detailing along the frieze, and slender fluted tapered legs. Brass ormolu-style mounts, delicate gallery rails along the top and side shelf, and rectangular drop-handle pulls decorate the structure. Measuring 141 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 47 cm deep, the bureau functions as a compact writing desk or display cabinet in a home study, bedroom, or living room.

FAQs

A bureau de dame is a small, specialised writing desk designed for women, originating in 18th-century France and popularised throughout the 19th century.

These pieces typically feature fine wood veneers such as mahogany, embellished with gilt-bronze or brass galleries, fluted detailing, and hand-painted varnish panels known as Vernis Martin.

Look for hand-cut dovetail construction on inner drawers, genuine cast brass or bronze mounts showing minor oxidisation, smooth movement of the roll-top cylinder, and original finish across the mahogany frame.

Position the piece in a bedroom alcove, hallway, or living area as an accent desk, combining it with contemporary neutral walls and subtle lighting to highlight the detailed paintwork.

Dust regularly with a dry lint-free cloth, keep the desk away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and apply a small amount of clear beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the wood finish.
