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.

A nineteenth-century Louis XV revival desktop cartonnier, constructed from rosewood veneer with warm brown timber tones and complemented by ornate gilded bronze ormolu mounts. The upper section displays a curved pediment with a central ormolu scroll motif, while the body incorporates five open pigeonhole compartments arranged in two tiers with serpentine outlines and gilded borders. Scroll feet support the structure, and cast ormolu mounts adorn the lower corners and upper crest. The piece measures 74 cm high, 56 cm wide and 26 cm deep. Positioned on a desk top or table top in a home office or study, this French chateau style organiser provides practical storage for letters and documents. The compact footprint fits neatly onto writing surfaces while adding traditional nineteenth-century character to an interior workspace.

FAQs

A cartonnier is a French desk accessory designed to hold papers, documents, or cardboard boxes, emerging during the 18th century in the reign of Louis XV to keep writing surfaces organised.

High-end 19th-century French pieces typically featured timber veneers such as rosewood or kingwood, complemented by chased gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and solid oak or pine sub-frames.

Authentic late 19th-century Louis XV revival pieces exhibit serpentine contours, hand-cut joinery, crosscut veneer work, and heavy, detailed brass or bronze cast mounts attached with period screws.

Position the piece atop a writing desk, console table, or sideboard to serve as a paper organiser, letter rack, or decorative display shelf for small collectibles.

Dust the timber surface regularly with a soft dry cloth and polish sparingly with beeswax, while gentle dusting with a soft brush preserves the surface finish of ormolu mounts.
