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 form of French writing desk that emerged during the late 17th century, defined by a flat leather-lined writing surface and a shallow frieze containing drawers.

These desks typically feature oak frame construction clad in exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or tulipwood, accented by chased gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and an inset leather writing top.

Authentic Louis XV pieces feature asymmetrical hand-carved rocaille motifs, hand-cast bronze mounts with original fire-gilding marks, pegged joinery, and natural hand-cut parquetry or marquetry veneers.

A historical bureau plat can be positioned as a freestanding centrepiece in a room, paired with minimalist contemporary seating and balanced with modern lighting to highlight its silhouette.

Keep the wood hydrated using natural beeswaxes while avoiding modern aerosol polishes, keep out of direct sunlight to prevent veneer bleaching, and dust ormolu mounts gently with a soft dry brush.
