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 Empire Revival furniture, popular in the late nineteenth century, draws inspiration from the Neoclassical designs of Napoleons reign. It features bold architectural forms, fine mahogany wood, symmetrical construction, and heavy reliance on classical bronze or brass ornamentation such as laurels, urns, and paw feet.

Primary construction relies on solid hardwoods and high-grade mahogany veneers, often set over pine or oak carcasses. Decorative features typically consist of cast gilt-bronze or brass ormolu mounts, with marble tops frequently integrated into dressing tables and bedside cabinets.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joinery, original patinated metalwork, and thick wood veneers. Look for heavy structural timber, cast bronze mounts secured from the reverse with period-correct square or hand-slotted screws, and appropriate age-related wear around handles and plinths.

To complement the visual weight and dark tones of mahogany Empire furniture, pair the suite with light neutral wall paint, simple linen drapery, and understated contemporary floor coverings. High ceilings and original architectural mouldings enhance the stately, classical proportions of the furniture.

Dust mahogany surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the finish. Ormolu and gilt-bronze mounts should never be cleaned with harsh chemical brass polish, as this strips the original gilding; light dusting is sufficient to maintain the patina.
