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 French form of writing desk that emerged during the late 17th century, characterised by a flat writing surface, frieze drawers, and cabriole or tapered legs.

Cabinetmakers typically utilised rich timber veneers such as burr walnut, kingwood, or rosewood, frequently decorated with hand-cut marquetry and cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut wood veneers, hand-chased brass or gilt-bronze mounts with natural age oxidation, and dovetail joinery visible inside the drawer construction.

Positioning a bureau plat as a standalone focal piece in a contemporary study or reception room creates a balanced contrast alongside clean architectural lines and modern seating.

Position timber away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight to prevent warping or fading, and apply high-grade beeswax periodically along the grain to protect the surface.
