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 Georgian bureau typically features a sloping drop-front writing surface supported by lopers, situated over a series of graduated drawers. Produced during the reign of King George I through George III, these pieces showcase classical proportions, precise joinery, and mahogany construction.

The exterior of Georgian bureaux predominantly utilised solid mahogany or flame mahogany veneers, often detailed with satinwood or boxwood crossbanding. Structural interiors and drawer linings were commonly crafted from native softwoods such as pine or oak, accompanied by cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, uneven tool marks on the back panels, and natural oxidisation on untouched timber surfaces. Original hardware often leaves distinct impression marks or former screw holes visible inside drawer fronts.

A Georgian bureau functions well in a home office, study, or hallway, offering compact workspace alongside concealed storage. Pairing the dark timber with contemporary artwork or clean neutral wall colours balances historical warmth with modern design.

Preserving mahogany furniture requires stable humidity levels and positioning away from direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent wood movement and veneer lifting. Dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a light coat of natural beeswax twice yearly protects the timber finish.
