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

Georgian writing bureaux, originating in 18th-century Britain, are characterised by a slanted fall-front writing surface that reveals internal cubbies and drawers, set above a chest of drawers. They typically showcase classical proportions, polished hardwoods, and functional brass hardware.

Primary woods used in authentic Georgian bureaux include dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, walnut, and oak. Secondary woods for internal drawer linings usually consist of pine or oak, fitted with hand-cast brass handles and steel locks.

Authentic period bureaux display hand-sawn dovetail joints, irregular hand-carved drawer linings, and natural wood oxidation on untreated surfaces. Look for original cast brass drop handles, iron key locks, and historical wear along the hinged writing flap.

A dark wood bureau functions well as a compact home workstation in a contemporary living space or bedroom. Pair it with modern task lighting and a neutral minimalist chair to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year along the grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and veneer fading.
