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 writing bureau is a compact desk featuring a sloped, hinged fall-front lid that opens to reveal a fitted writing surface and small compartments, positioned above storage drawers.

Traditionally, solid timbers such as oak, walnut, and mahogany were crafted using mortise and tenon joinery, dovetail drawers, and cast brass drop handles.

Identification relies on hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, wear along the runner grooves, original brass lock mechanisms, and evidence of hand carving rather than machine routing.

Position the bureau in an alcove or study as a focal workspace, pairing its dark oak finish with neutral wall shades and contemporary task lighting to complement the wood.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax twice a year along the grain, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
