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.

Napoleon III furniture, originating in France during the mid to late 19th century, is distinguished by dark ebonised finishes, elaborate gilt-bronze mounts, fine marquetry, and exotic veneer inlays such as amboyna.

High-quality 19th-century French credenzas were constructed using ebonised hardwoods, amboyna or burr walnut veneers, cast ormolu mounts, clear glass, and central porcelain plaques painted in the Sevres style.

Authentic pieces feature finely chased cast brass or bronze mounts, genuine wood grain visible beneath the hand-applied ebonised surface, precise geometric inlay work, and period-appropriate door hinges and locks.

Positioning the piece against a light neutral background creates strong visual contrast, while minimalist wall art overhead balances the detailed inlay and metallic ornamentation.

Dust the surfaces regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and clean the metal mounts solely with a soft dry brush to prevent tarnish.
