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 French 18th-century slant-front bureau, often referred to as a bureau a pente, is a writing desk featuring a sloped hinged flap that opens to reveal an interior fitted with small drawers and pigeonholes, positioned above a chest of drawers.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid walnut or fruitwoods, utilizing hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged oak drawer linings, and hand-cast brass hardware such as decorative handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period bureaux feature hand-sawn wood marks on the back panels, early cast brass fittings, irregular dovetail joints, and natural age-related patina around handles and keyholes.

Position the bureau as a focal point in a home office or living room, pairing its rich wood tones with neutral wall colours, contemporary artwork, and subtle table lighting.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or fading, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the natural lustre.
