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 Central Europe during the early nineteenth century, Biedermeier style furniture is recognised for clean geometric shapes, utilitarian elegance, and figured native wood veneers rather than heavy gilded ornamentation.

Nineteenth-century escritoires were traditionally constructed using solid timber frames covered with figure-matched veneers, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, drop-down writing flaps, and interior storage compartments.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, natural timber aging, original iron or brass lock mechanisms, and distinct flame or burr wood veneers arranged in symmetrical patterns without modern synthetic finishes.

A Biedermeier escritoire serves as a focal point in a study or living room, pairing well with understated modern seating, neutral wall palettes, and subtle architectural lighting to accentuate the natural wood grain.

Maintain the finish by keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, wiping dust with a clean microfibre cloth, and periodically applying a beeswax polish to protect the veneer.
