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

The Empire style originated in early 19th-century France, drawing heavily from the neoclassical motifs of ancient Greece and Rome, characterised by stately symmetry, dark woods, and restrained classical ornamentation.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or oak, often ebonised to imitate more expensive materials, and featured hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and leather-lined writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawer construction, uniform patina on the hardware, and signs of genuine age and wear rather than artificial distress.

An ebonized desk works well as a striking focal point in a contemporary study or home office, contrasting sharply against neutral walls and softened with organic textures like a wool rug and modern lighting.

Maintain ebonized furniture by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and occasionally applying a quality microcrystalline wax to protect the dark finish.
