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

Emerging during the early nineteenth century, Empire beds are characterised by Neoclassical proportions, architectural symmetry, sweeping sleigh-style silhouettes known as lits bateau, and ornamental gilt-bronze or brass mounts.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut veneers set over solid oak framing, finished with chased and gilt metal mounts featuring classical iconography.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, original gilt mounts with detailed chasing, natural oxidation to the metalwork, and subtle movement or patination in the wood veneer.

Positioning a matching pair side-by-side in a guest room paired with crisp, contemporary white cotton linens creates an elegant architectural focal point that balances historic detail with modern simplicity.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft microfiber cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to polished timber once or twice a year, and strictly avoid chemical polishes or water on the gilt metalwork.
