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.

FAQs

The Directoire style emerged in France during the transitional period between Louis XVI and the Empire style, defined by neoclassical restraint, symmetrical geometric lines, and a reduction in excessive ornamentation.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid timber frames with figured veneer surfaces, such as mahogany or walnut, complemented by marble slab tops and cast brass hardware.

Authentication relies on examining hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-forged or cast bronze mounts, traditional timber shrinkage patterns, and the presence of old-growth wood grain consistent with the period.

Pair the traditional warmth of the wood with minimalist contemporary lighting or abstract art to create a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern simplicity.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically nourish the wood with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
