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 George II bureau bookcase is an 18th-century case piece produced between 1727 and 1760, characterized by solid mahogany construction, a fall-front writing desk over graduated drawers, and a double-door upper cabinet often topped with architectural pediments.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from imported Cuban mahogany, featuring oak or pine as secondary drawer lining woods, paired with cast brass handles, escutcheons, and steel lock mechanisms.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn dovetail drawer joints, uneven hand-planed back boards, original cast brass hardware with threaded posts, and genuine age-related shrinkage in the solid timber panels.

An antique bureau bookcase serves as a focal point in a home office or living room, anchoring modern seating, contemporary artwork, and minimal ceramics within traditional architectural spaces.

Maintain mahogany by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth, applying beeswax polish once or twice annually along the grain, and keeping the item away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
