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

A Georgian writing bureau is an 18th-century piece of case furniture featuring a sloping hinged lid that opens to reveal a writing surface and fitted compartments, situated above a series of storage drawers.

These bureaux were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or oak, featuring dovetail drawer joints, secondary pine linings, and cast brass handles with keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn dovetails, hand-planed back panels, natural uneven wear on drawer runners, and period-correct brass hardware with original cast fixings.

Position the bureau in a study, hallway, or living area, pairing its rich timber tones with contemporary artwork, clean neutral wall colours, and minimal modern task lighting.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources or strong sunlight, clear dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year.
