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

Swedish Empire furniture, originating in the early 19th century under King Karl XIV Johan, adapts French Imperial Neoclassicism. It features structured architectural forms, detailed wood carving, gilding, ebonised accents, and motifs inspired by classical Greco-Roman and Egyptian antiquities.

Frames were typically constructed from native European softwoods or hardwoods such as pine or beech, which were sculpted and layered with gesso. The surfaces were treated with leaf gilding, dark paint or lacquer details, and upholstered in woven fabrics like silk, wool damask, or striped brocade.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, and natural age-related wear to the gilding, often revealing the red or grey clay bole underlayer beneath the gold leaf.

Pairing antique gilded armchairs alongside clean-lined modern sofas or placing them symmetrically across from a fireplace creates balanced visual contrast while highlighting the carved architectural detailing of the wood frames.

Keep giltwood furniture away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to prevent wood movement and gesso cracking. Clean surfaces gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solutions that can dissolve historic gilding.
