French Antiques and Objets d'art

We specialise in French antiques and work with interior designers, trade and retail in the UK and worldwide. Every piece is examined and restored when necessary to a very high standard by a professionally trained restorer with years of experience.

We have an online store and viewing in person is unfortunately not an option. If you wish to return an item please send us written notification within 48 hours of receipt. Returns can be made up to 14 days after delivery. The item must be returned in the same condition as it left and a full refund less any delivery and return delivery costs incurred by us will be issued.

We ship larger pieces, such as tables and washstands, with specialised couriers and smaller pieces, such as sculptures and lights, with FedEx or the post.

We take great care to ensure that our pieces are well-packaged for transport. Deliveries take on average between 1 week and 3 weeks (possibly longer, depending on your location, times of year and any other factors).

We have stock in Kent and France and can provide quotes to deliver from both stores.

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.
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.
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.

Second Empire hardware, dating from the mid-to-late 19th century in France, is defined by classical motifs, heavy casting, and elaborate ornamentation including acanthus leaves, rosettes, and scrolling foliage.

19th-century French drapery hardware was primarily manufactured from cast brass, bronze, or gilt metal (ormolu), often finished with chasing or polishing to highlight decorative relief details.

Authentic pieces feature cast construction, period-correct threaded mounting rods or backplates, classical hand-chased decorative motifs, and natural patination consistent with age.

Period tie-backs can be mounted adjacent to modern drapery panels to add texture and historical contrast, or repurposed as decorative wall hooks for light linens and accessories.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical abrasives, using a mild soapy water solution only if necessary to preserve original lacquering and patina.
