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 Napoleon III style, active during Frances Second Empire, is characterised by an eclectic revival of earlier French eras, particularly Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. Pieces often display dark woods or veneers, complex parquetry or marquetry, and decorative cast bronze or brass mounts.

These tables were typically crafted using fine hardwood veneers such as rosewood, kingwood, or walnut over a solid core. Craftsmen applied geometric parquetry, ebony inlays, and cast gilt bronze (ormolu) corner mounts, foot sabots, and moldings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut veneer elements, precise geometric inlays showing natural timber ageing, and hand-chased metal mounts secured with period-appropriate screws. Internal drawer construction often displays hand-dovetailed joints and original locking mechanisms.

A small French work table functions well as a decorative side table beside an armchair, an accent piece in an entryway, or a compact bedside nightstand. Placing contemporary ceramics or minimal lamp fixtures on top provides a structured visual contrast against the intricate woodwork.

Clean the veneered surfaces regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, keeping the table away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or lifting. Metal mounts should be dusted gently without harsh chemical polishers that could strip original gilding or ruin adjacent wood finishes.
