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 de dame is a small writing desk specifically designed for women, originating in 18th-century France. Characterised by a sloped fall-front lid, slender cabriole legs, and compact proportions, it was traditionally used for personal correspondence and writing.

These pieces typically feature a timber carcass faced with exotic veneers such as rosewood or kingwood. Decorative floral marquetry using contrasting timber inlays and chased gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts around the edges and feet are standard construction features.

Look for hand-cut dovetail joints on the internal drawers, age-appropriate patination on the gilt-metal mounts, and fine book-matched veneers. Period pieces display hand-planed secondary woods on the interior and underside consistent with historical cabinetmaking.

A bureau de dame functions as a compact workspace in a modern bedroom, dressing room, or hallway alcove. Its slender silhouette and detailed wood grain allow it to serve as a focal point alongside contemporary seating and simple decorative accents.

Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent veneers from lifting or fading. Clean surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the wood while avoiding liquid contact with the ormolu mounts.
