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

Originating during Napoleons reign in early nineteenth-century France, Empire-style furniture is characterised by Neoclassical architectural influences, rich mahogany timber, symmetry, and elaborate gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts featuring classical motifs like palmettes and paw feet.

Pieces from this period typically feature dense mahogany frames, mercury-gilded bronze mounts, cast iron or steel swivel mechanisms, and padded upholstery wrapped in velvet or silk fabrics.

Authentic period items feature hand-carved mahogany elements, heavy bronze mounts attached with historical screws, natural patina on gilded areas, and solid wood construction beneath upholstery elements.

Position the stool alongside a desk, dressing table, or grand piano to introduce historical character, or place it as an accent piece in a formal lounge or hallway to showcase the gilded metalwork.

Clean gilt-bronze mounts gently with a soft dry brush to preserve the gilding, dust mahogany surfaces along the grain with a microfibre cloth, and apply beeswax sparingly while keeping fabric upholstery away from direct sunlight.
