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

The Louis XVI style originated in 18th-century France, characterised by neo-classical symmetry, straight lines, geometric marquetry, and fine gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, frequently incorporated into 19th-century revival cabinetmaking.

These cabinets typically feature exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood, inlaid with floral marquetry, fitted with cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, and topped with contoured marble slabs.

Authentic pieces exhibit exceptionally crisp chasing on the gilt-bronze mounts, precise marquetry joinery, heavy oak frame construction, and occasionally maker stamps on the woodwork or bronze castings.

Position them symmetrically flanking a doorway, hallway mirror, or central artwork to anchor the space, using the gilded mounts and wood tones to contrast against neutral wall finishes.

Dust surfaces using a soft dry cloth, avoid harsh liquid polish on gilt-bronze mounts to prevent stripping the gilded finish, and maintain consistent room humidity to avoid wood veneer movement.
