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

An early 18th century walnut bureau is a slant-front writing desk constructed above a series of drawers, characteristic of the Queen Anne and Early Georgian eras.

These pieces feature solid framing faced with figured walnut veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, secondary pine internal woods, and cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut joinery inside drawer linings, period-appropriate brass plate handles displaying natural oxidisation, and original bracket feet.

Position the bureau as an accent desk in a home library, study, or living space, pairing rich wood tones with warm task lighting.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the timber while avoiding direct heat sources.
