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 18th-century Britain, a Georgian walnut bureau features a sloping fall-front writing surface supported by lopers, opening to reveal internal compartments and drawers set above a chest of drawers.

These pieces typically feature figured walnut veneers laid over an oak or pine carcass, with hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, pierced brass handles, and decorative featherbanded or crossbanded borders.

Authentic 18th-century bureaus exhibit hand-sawn wood markings, hand-carved dovetail joints, original iron lock mechanisms, natural wood shrinkage on drawer bases, and age-related patination on the veneer.

Position the bureau as a functional focal point in a hallway, home office, or living room, complementing its warm wood tones with modern artwork, brass table lamps, and neutral upholstery.

Position the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage or fading, dust with a soft cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to protect the surface finish.
