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 bureau is a sloping-front writing desk combined with a chest of drawers, designed to provide write-at convenience and lockable storage within a single piece of cabinet furniture.

English bureaux from this period were predominantly constructed from solid woods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, held together with hand-cut joinery and finished with cast brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand craftsmanship, such as thick hand-cut dovetail joints, uneven hand-planed back panels, cast brass handles with natural oxidisation, and wood shrinkage along the grain.

An antique bureau can serve as a functional focal point in a hallway, study, or living area, pairing naturally with contemporary wall art, modern table lamps, or minimalist decor.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and apply high-quality beeswax occasionally to nourish the wood, keeping the item positioned away from direct radiators to avoid moisture loss.
