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 flat-topped French writing desk that emerged in the 17th century and gained prominent popularity during the reign of Louis XV. Characterised by a serpentine outline, curved cabriole legs, and ornate gilt-bronze mounts, these tables were designed to sit in the centre of a room rather than against a wall.

Traditional Louis XV writing tables feature solid timber frames finished with ebonised wood, Japanned lacquer, or fine wood marquetry veneers. The writing surfaces are frequently inlaid with leather, while decorative embellishments consist of cast gilt bronze, also known as ormolu.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-chased gilt-bronze mounts with maker stamps or C-croix marks, and evidence of hand-planed timber surfaces. Later 19th-century Rococo Revival examples often feature machine-cast mounts and modern hardware fittings.

A black lacquered writing table serves as a focal point when placed in a contemporary home office or library. The dark lacquer and gold accents contrast effectively against light neutral walls, paired with modern artwork or streamlined task lighting.

Maintain lacquered surfaces by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays. Gilt-bronze mounts should be kept free from moisture and liquid polishes, while leather tops benefit from light treatments with specialized leather conditioner.
