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.

This Edwardian Sheraton Revival ladies bureau is constructed from warm brown rosewood with pale bone marquetry inlay. The piece incorporates a cylinder roll-top enclosing a writing surface, a single central drawer fitted with brass drop handles and a hanging tassel, and four slender tapered square legs. A shaped lower undertier features a spindled gallery along its back edge, supported above small feet. Bone inlay elements include floral and foliate motifs across the drawer front, cylinder top and sides. The bureau stands 89 cm high, 69 cm wide and 47 cm deep, with a knee height of 70 cm. Placed in a study or a bedroom, it provides a compact writing station and display surface suitable for traditional interiors.

FAQs

The ladies cylinder bureau gained popularity in late eighteenth-century Europe as a compact writing desk featuring a curved cylinder section that rolls open to reveal writing surfaces and small internal compartments.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or satinwood, featuring decorative marquetry inlays made from contrasting timber veneers like boxwood, complemented by solid brass handles.

Authentic examples display hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, age-appropriate natural wear to the polish, hand-cut brass hardware, and precise hand-inlaid wood veneers.

A cylinder bureau can be positioned in a home office, hallway, or living space as a compact workstation, paired with neutral wall treatments and modern task lighting to contrast with the detailed woodwork.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax annually, keeping the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the veneer.
