French Antiques and Objets d'art

We specialise in French antiques and work with interior designers, trade and retail in the UK and worldwide. Every piece is examined and restored when necessary to a very high standard by a professionally trained restorer with years of experience.

We have an online store and viewing in person is unfortunately not an option. If you wish to return an item please send us written notification within 48 hours of receipt. Returns can be made up to 14 days after delivery. The item must be returned in the same condition as it left and a full refund less any delivery and return delivery costs incurred by us will be issued.

Packing and Delivery

We ship larger pieces, such as tables and washstands, with specialised couriers and smaller pieces, such as sculptures and lights, with FedEx or the post.

We take great care to ensure that our pieces are well-packaged for transport. Deliveries take on average between 1 week and 3 weeks (possibly longer, depending on your location, times of year and any other factors).

We have stock in Kent and France and can provide quotes to deliver from both stores. Should a piece need importing from France, the price would be DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to include shipping, UK import VAT and customs clearance; there are no hidden costs. Please contact us by email or Whatsapp Link if you need a quote.

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.
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.
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.

Edwardian tile back washstands were produced during the early 20th century to accommodate basin sets prior to indoor plumbing. They combine a wooden base structure with a marble surface and a tiled splashback designed to protect surrounding walls from water damage.

These washstands were frequently constructed from timber such as birch, oak, or mahogany, topped with solid marble. Splashbacks feature glazed ceramic tiles often decorated with floral or geometric motifs popular during the period.

Authentic pieces generally feature dovetailed drawer joints, cast brass drop handles, original ceramic tile work set into the timber splashback frame, and solid marble tops with hand-finished edges.

In modern interiors, these items are frequently repurposed as bathroom vanity units by plumbing in a basin, or utilised as hallway console tables and sideboards in dining areas.

Clean the marble surface using pH-neutral soap and water, avoiding acidic cleaners that etch stone. Maintain the timber frame by wiping with a soft cloth and applying beeswax polish periodically.
