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 in mid-to-late 19th-century France during the Second Empire, Napoleon III bookcases are defined by dark or ebonised timber finishes combined with opulent metallic detailing, including brass stringing, mounts, or ormolu accents.

These pieces were typically constructed using fruitwood, oak, or mahogany finished with black ebonised lacquer, trimmed with cast ormolu or brass mouldings, and fitted with adjustable wooden shelving.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chased brass mounts with natural oxidisation, hand-cut dovetail joints, saw-tooth shelf adjustment systems inside the carcass, and solid timber backboards with original plaster or shellac finishes.

A low breakfront bookcase functions effectively as a grounding element along a main wall, framed by contemporary artwork above and styled with bound volumes, ceramics, or sculpture along the open shelves.

Clean ebonised surfaces regularly using a soft microfibre cloth without harsh solvents, and gently polish brass elements with a micro-abrasive cloth, ensuring chemicals do not come into contact with the wood finish.
