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.

Originating in Second Empire France during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, Napoleon III style furniture draws inspiration from Renaissance, Baroque, and Louis XVI designs, often featuring intricate marquetry, brass mounts, and dark exotic timber.

Traditional French marquetry tables feature substrates of oak or pine overlaid with veneers such as rosewood, kingwood, or walnut, accented with gilt-brass or ormolu mounts and wood inlays.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut timber veneers, period-appropriate brass fittings, precise floral or scrollwork inlays, and signs of age-related timber movement along structural joints.

A centre table can serve as a focal point in an entryway, function as an occasional desk, or anchor a formal sitting area alongside contemporary upholstered seating.

Keep marquetry furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources, clean surfaces gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply high-grade beeswax sparingly to protect the wood finish.
