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

Originating in mid-to-late 19th-century France, Napoleon III furniture is recognised for its eclectic revival influences, dark or ebonised woodwork, and plush, deeply buttoned upholstery designed for comfort.

Frames were typically crafted from hardwoods such as beech or oak, often finished with an ebonised black stain, while upholstery utilised natural fillings like horsehair and hessian bound with metal coil springs.

Authentic pieces feature turned front supports, dark or ebonised wood finishes, hand-tufted diamond buttoning, and traditional structural joinery beneath the upholstery layers.

The contrast between a dark ebonised frame and neutral fabric allows the piece to serve as a grounding focal accent chair within minimal, transitional, or eclectic living spaces.

Dust the ebonised frame regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources, and clean fabric elements gently using professional dry upholstery methods.
