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.
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.

Chippendale style originates from the 18th-century designs of Thomas Chippendale, combining English mid-Georgian form with Gothic, Rococo, and Chinese influences. Key features include cabriole legs, ball-and-claw feet, intricate carving, and high-quality mahogany wood construction.

Primary woods typically include solid mahogany or walnut veneers, complemented by secondary timbers such as oak or pine for internal drawer linings. Handles and escutcheons are usually cast from brass.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer construction, hand-planed back panels, and natural wear patterns on the feet and handles. Internal compartments often show shrinkage gaps in secondary timbers consistent with timber aging.

A writing bureau serves as a compact workspace in a home study, living room alcove, or wide hallway. Pairing the piece with a clean-lined modern chair creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the bureau away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, drying, and wood fading.
