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 Edwardian writing bureau typically dates from the early 20th century, characterised by lighter proportions, functional drop-down writing surfaces, and subtle decorative elements such as pierced fretwork or oval marquetry inlays.

These bureaux are primarily constructed from solid woods such as oak or mahogany, often featuring cast brass drop handles, dovetail drawer joints, and built-in open shelving or internal cubbyholes.

Authentic pieces usually feature hand-cut or early machine dovetail joints, original brass hardware displaying natural oxidisation, minor wear consistent with period usage, and distinct early 20th-century design motifs.

Position the bureau in a quiet alcove, hallway, or home office space, paired with a contemporary desk lamp and understated ceramic vessels to balance historical character with current utility.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice annually along the grain, ensuring placement remains away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
