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.

These French Empire armchairs date from 1850 and display a fully upholstered wooden frame. The linen covers feature a cream ground patterned with green floral scrollwork, complemented by a deep bullion fringe skirt along the base, scroll arms, and a curved backrest. The pieces measure 81 cm high, 74 cm wide, 76 cm overall depth, with a 51 cm seat depth and 36 cm seat height. In a contemporary home, this pair functions as seating in a living room, drawing room, or reading nook. The classic design suits traditional or transitional interior schemes, providing comfortable lounging space while introducing period character through the patterned textile and decorative fringe.

FAQs

French Empire seating originated during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, drawing inspiration from Greco-Roman classical forms with structured silhouettes, flared backs, and curved armrests.

These pieces are constructed around a solid hardwood frame, typically mahogany or walnut, finished with traditional spring and horsehair padding, and upholstered in woven fabrics with decorative bullion fringe trims.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy timber framing, traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, hand-stitched webbing, and symmetrical proportions characteristic of early nineteenth-century design.

Place a pair of these chairs opposite a modern sofa to create a conversational area, or style them individually in a bedroom or reading alcove to provide visual contrast.

Regularly vacuum the upholstery with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up, spot clean stains immediately using dry cleaning solvents, and keep out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
