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 bookcase is a dual-purpose piece of case furniture originating in the late seventeenth century, combining a slant-front writing desk with an upper glazed cabinet designed for book storage.

These pieces were typically constructed using solid mahogany or oak frameworks, decorated with satinwood or flame mahogany veneers, original brass drop handles, and hand-cut glass panes.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, irregular handmade glass glazing, and period-correct brass escutcheons and locks.

Position the piece as a focal point against a neutral backdrop, utilising the upper glazed cabinet to display ceramics or curated objects alongside books while keeping the desk section open or closed.

Dust mahogany surfaces regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, positioning the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
