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

Originating in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the bureau bookcase combined a writing slope, drawer storage, and a glazed upper section for books. The form gained widespread popularity during the Queen Anne and Georgian periods, particularly crafted in figured walnut.

These pieces typically feature burr walnut veneers applied over a solid wood carcase such as oak or pine. Additional components include glass panels for the upper cabinet, brass drop handles, and hand-carved details on cabriole legs.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-sawing on back panels, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, and natural variation in veneer thickness. The patination of the wood and original brass hardware or lock escutcheons also offer indication of age.

A slim bureau bookcase serves as an efficient home workspace or display cabinet in narrow rooms or alcoves. Positioning it against a neutral background allows the rich grain pattern of the walnut wood to act as a focal point.

Dust the wood regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the timber. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting or uneven colour fading.
