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

French Renaissance Revival furniture from the 19th century, often associated with the Henri II style, draws inspiration from 16th-century architectural forms. These pieces feature relief carvings of mythical creatures, caryatids, mask motifs, turned spindles, and heavy moulded cornices.

Cabinet makers primarily used dense, high-grade hardwoods such as solid walnut and oak to facilitate detailed hand-carving. Marble slabs were frequently integrated for work surfaces, alongside cast brass or bronze hardware for drawer pulls and hinges.

Authentic 19th-century French pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed back panels, and asymmetric tool marks on carved details. Original marble tops usually show slight variations in thickness and hand-finished edge profiles.

A carved French sideboard serves as a focal point in contemporary dining rooms or hallways when balanced against neutral wall tones and minimalist artwork. Combining classical woodwork with modern ceramics or simple glass lighting creates an effective visual contrast.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually following the grain direction. Clean marble tops using pH-neutral stone cleaners, ensuring liquid spills are wiped immediately to prevent permanent staining of the porous stone.
