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

Louis XVI Revival furniture produced in the late 19th century incorporates classical symmetry, linear geometric panels, floral marquetry, and chased gilt-bronze mounts inspired by 18th-century French court design.

Ebenistes of this era typically constructed frames from oak or pine, applying exotic timber veneers such as kingwood and rosewood, accented with cast bronze ormolu mounts and topped with polished marble slabs.

Authentic pieces by Paul Sormani frequently feature a stamped maker signature along the lock plate or bronze border, alongside precise veneer joinery and finely hand-chased gilding.

Position the cabinet against a neutral background to contrast the dark timber tones, framing it with simple modern art or contemporary lamps to balance historical and modern elements.

Keep the cabinet in a climate-controlled room away from direct heat to prevent wood shrinkage, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and avoid chemical polishes on gilt metalwork.
