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.

During the 19th century, French cabinetmakers heavily revived 18th-century classical styles such as Louis XVI. Renowned Parisian makers like Alfred Beurdeley crafted centre tables (tables a milieu) featuring intricate metal inlays and finely chased gilt-bronze mounts for aristocratic residences.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames veneered in exotic timbers such as mahogany, rosewood, or burr woods. Decorative elements consist of inlaid brass stringing and heavy cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.

Authentic pieces by Beurdeley often carry a stamped signature or mark on the underside or drawer lining. Additionally, the exceptional quality of the gilt-bronze chasing, precise brass joinery, and refined proportions serve as key markers of workshop authenticity.

A centre table functions as a structural focal point within a spacious entrance hall or grand living space. Pairing the detailed brasswork with modern architectural elements or neutral backdrops creates a striking visual contrast.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer movement. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on gilt-bronze mounts, cleaning only with a soft dry brush.
