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 pair of 19th-century Napoleon III side cabinets in the French Chateau style presents a breakfront contour executed in warm brown amboyna veneers with gilt-bronze mounts and dark marble tops. Each cabinet displays three inset panelled doors, the central door featuring an oval pietra dura stone inlay plaque depicting a floral arrangement in a vase, surrounded by gilt-bronze frames. Gilded ormolu mouldings edge the panels and drawers, while gilded caryatid mounts adorn the front corners. The structure stands on turned ormolu-mounted feet beneath the panelled base. Each cabinet measures 117 cm high, 158 cm wide, and 47 cm deep. These imposing side cabinets suit a formal living room or dining room as functional surface space and storage.

FAQs

Napoleon III style side cabinets are characterised by eclectic historical revival elements, incorporating rich marquetry, dark or contrasting veneers, elaborate gilt-bronze mounts, and decorative stone inlays.

These cabinets combine fine cabinet timbers such as amboyna or walnut with gilded cast-bronze mounts, shaped marble surface tops, and central panels of hardstone lapidary mosaic work.

Authentic 19th-century pietra dura displays precise hand-cut slices of natural stones such as agate, jasper, and lapis lazuli fitted seamlessly into a dark marble base with natural colour variations.

These storage pieces function effectively in formal dining spaces or grand entrance halls, providing visual weight against contemporary neutral walls and polished flooring.

Dust surfaces with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid acidic cleaning agents on the natural stone tops, and use specialized wax polishes strictly on timber sections away from metal fittings.
