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

Originating during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte in the early 19th century, French Empire furniture draws heavy inspiration from Greco-Roman and Egyptian architecture. Key characteristics include symmetrical geometric forms, solid columnar supports, heavy base plinths, and classical brass or ormolu mounts.

These tables are primarily constructed from solid wood veneered with rich flame mahogany or rosewood. They routinely incorporate thick marble tops, mercury-silvered glass mirror backs, and gilded bronze or brass mounts shaped into classical motifs.

Authentic pieces feature heavy, hand-sawn timber frames beneath thick wood veneers. Look for original cast ormolu mounts with hand-chased detailing, mercury silvering on glass panels showing characteristic oxidisation spots, and natural wear to the underside of the marble slab.

Position the console table against a neutral or dark backdrop in an entryway or living room to accentuate its architectural silhouette. Complement the dark mahogany and metallic mounts by placing modern abstract artwork or minimalist ceramic vessels above or nearby.

Dust mahogany surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally along the grain. Clean the marble top using a pH-neutral cleaner to prevent etching, and lightly brush gilt bronze mounts to remove dust without abrasive chemical cleaners that strip gilding.
