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.
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.

An Edwardian bureau typically date from 1901 to 1910 and features neoclassical influences, slender proportions, and fine mahogany timber. Often influenced by earlier eighteenth-century Sheraton and Hepplewhite designs, these pieces commonly incorporate satinwood crossbanding, oval motif inlays, and graduated drawer arrangements.

These bureaux were predominantly crafted using solid and veneered mahogany, often accented with satinwood or boxwood stringing and marquetry inlays. Secondary timbers inside drawers often include oak or pine, while drawer handles and escutcheons are typically cast from solid brass.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer linings, natural wear along the drawer runners, and age-appropriate patination on the brass hardware. The presence of original steel or brass locks, along with subtle shrinkage marks or natural wood grain variations, also indicates genuine period construction.

Place the bureau against a plain or subtly wallpapered wall to highlight its timber grain and inlaid details. Combine it with contemporary desk accessories, modern artwork hanging above, or a sleek desk lamp to create a functional workspace that bridges traditional and modern aesthetics.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the wood grain. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and damp conditions to prevent timber warping or veneer lifting.
