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

The bureau, featuring a sloping fall-front flap that opens to reveal a fitted interior of pigeonholes and small drawers, evolved in the late 17th century to provide a secure and organised space for correspondence and record-keeping.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, utilising traditional joinery techniques including dovetail joints for drawers and hand-cut panels.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction markers such as hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage patterns, period-appropriate brass hardware, and tool marks consistent with historical manufacturing methods.

An antique bureau works effectively as a functional workspace or focal point in contemporary settings, contrasting sharply against minimalist walls or paired with modern seating to create a balanced transitional aesthetic.

Maintain timber condition by keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically treat the surface with traditional beeswax to nourish the wood and preserve the natural patina.
