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 style furniture originated in early nineteenth-century France under Napoleon, drawing architectural inspiration from classical Roman and Greek design. Bookcases in this style typically feature symmetry, full-length columns or pilasters, stepped cornices, and brass or gilt accents.

These pieces were primarily constructed using solid hardwoods veneered with high-figure flame mahogany or walnut timber. Decorative accents frequently incorporated cast brass or gilt-bronze mountings on column capitals and bases.

Authentic examples feature hand-sawn backing boards, hand-cut joinery such as dovetails, and original brass mountings showing natural oxidisation over time. The timber surface usually exhibits subtle shrinkage lines and historic patination.

An open mahogany bookcase serves as a structural focal point in studies, hallways, or living rooms. Arranging books alongside ceramic vessels or modern sculptural objects balances classical architectural proportions with modern decor.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying clear beeswax polish periodically. Position the bookcase away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lift and wood discolouration.
