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 cylinder bureau, or bureau a cylindre, features a curved quarter-cylinder wooden shutter that rolls back to reveal writing compartments and a desk surface, popularized in late 18th and 19th-century France.

Empire Revival furniture typically incorporates rich mahogany, flame mahogany veneers, and gilded bronze (ormolu) mounts featuring Classical motifs such as caryatids, palmettes, and bronze feet.

Authentic pieces from the late 19th century exhibit precise cabinet-making techniques, hand-fitted dovetail joinery, finely detailed gilded bronze mounts, and solid hardwood drawer linings.

Position the bureau as a focal feature against a neutral wall, pairing its rich mahogany tones with modern table lamps or understated artwork to create a refined home office area.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid using harsh chemical polishes on the gilded bronze mounts, and maintain consistent indoor humidity levels to prevent timber movement.
