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.

French Empire metalwork is defined by classical Neoclassical motifs, symmetrical forms, heavy proportions, and high-quality gilding inspired by ancient Roman and Greek archaeology.

These vessels were typically cast in bronze, refined with hand-chasing or engine-turning, and finished using mercury gilding before being assembled with central threaded iron rods.

Authentic period pieces exhibit substantial weight, precise hand-tooled chasing, natural wear on high points revealing dark bronze underneath, and historical assembly methods rather than modern screws.

Pairing these objects symmetrically on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table creates visual balance and adds reflective warmth to modern or traditional rooms.

Dust regularly with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals, water, or abrasive polishes that can permanently strip original mercury gilding.
