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 plat is a flat-topped writing desk introduced in 17th-century France, featuring a wide writing surface, apron drawers, and decorative cast bronze or brass mounts.

Craftspeople traditionally used high-grade timber veneers such as walnut, rosewood, and kingwood for marquetry inlays, complemented by cast ormolu or gilt-bronze mounts.

Key indicators include hand-cut dovetailed drawer construction, heavy mercury-gilded ormolu hardware, detailed veneer inlays, and natural wear patterns across the timber.

Position the piece as a focal point in a home office or formal reception room, pairing it with neutral walls and subtle lighting to highlight the woodwork.

Keep the table away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent veneer lifting, dust with a dry microfibre cloth, and care for ormolu mounts without abrasive chemical cleaners.
