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 style furniture, originating in the early nineteenth century during Napoleon Bonapartes reign, features classical neoclassical proportions, symmetry, rich mahogany or fruitwood veneers, and ornate gilt-bronze or brass mounts.

These bed frames were typically constructed from solid mahogany, walnut, or fruitwood, frequently featuring decorative marquetry or parquetry veneers and applied cast brass or ormolu mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawing marks, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, genuine hand-cut parquetry veneers, and heavy gilt-bronze or brass embellishments featuring neoclassical motifs like laurel wreaths and lyres.

Position the bed frame as the central focal point paired with neutral linen bedding, subtle ambient lighting, and muted wall paint to allow the rich wood tones and parquetry details to stand out.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding direct sunlight, radiators, and excess moisture to preserve the wood finish.
