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 bureau plat is a flat-topped writing table that originated in France during the seventeenth century. It typically features a rectangular writing surface, often fitted with a leather insert, and contains drawers within the frieze supported by cabriole or turned legs.

These tables are constructed using figured walnut veneers over hardwood frames, frequently detailed with gilt-bronze or brass mounts, known as ormolu, and topped with gold-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces feature curved cabriole legs, serpentine outlines, hand-chased metal mounts applied to vulnerable edges, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and natural age-related patina on the timber.

A French writing table functions well as a standalone desk in a dedicated home office, or placed centrally behind a sofa in a living room to add historic texture alongside contemporary upholstery.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish to the timber annually, and treat the leather writing surface with a specialist leather conditioner while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
