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

Originating in early 18th-century Britain, a George I bureau bookcase combines a fall-front writing desk with an upper cabinet, often featuring figured walnut veneers, double-arch or broken-arch pediments, and mirrored or glazed doors.

Craftsmen typically utilised oak or pine for the underlying carcass, veneered with richly figured walnut, feather-banding, and cross-banding. Construction relied on hand-cut dovetail joints, solid drawer linings, and hand-cast brass drop handles.

Authentic pieces show period construction traits such as wide hand-cut dovetails, secondary timber displaying natural shrinkage, hand-forged iron locks, and original bevelled mirror plates showing gentle light foxing.

Positioning the piece as an architectural focal point in a contemporary study or reception room creates dynamic contrast against modern art and tailored contemporary upholstery.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying natural beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.
