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

Empire Revival furniture, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reinterprets early 19th-century French Neoclassical design. Suites typically feature symmetry, heavy classical motifs such as serpents, caryatids, or laurel wreaths, and rich carved hardwoods like walnut or mahogany.

These suites are constructed from solid or veneered walnut, favoured for its rich grain and suitability for detailed hand carving. Joinery often relies on traditional mortise and tenon joints, supporting traditional webbed and coil-sprung upholstery frameworks.

Look for signs of hand-carved detailing, natural age patina on the timber, and authentic joinery techniques such as dowel or mortise joints. Early 20th-century revival pieces display Neoclassical carving motifs alongside natural timber oxidisation in less exposed areas.

Place the sofa or bench as a central focal point paired with minimalist contemporary tables to balance the detailed woodwork. Re-upholstering in modern linen or velvet fabrics allows classic carved frames to integrate into modern or eclectic settings.

Dust the wooden frames regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to nourish the timber. Keep both the upholstered and wooden components away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric fading.
