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

French Empire style furniture, originating in the early nineteenth century, features neoclassical proportions, dark mahogany woods, symmetrical forms, and ornate brass or gilt-bronze decorative mounts.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany and rich mahogany veneers, fitted with glass panels, interior wooden shelving, and hand-cast ormolu or brass embellishments.

Authentic features include substantial column supports, heavy architectural pediments or cornices, hand-cut joinery inside frames, period glass, and high-quality cast brass or ormolu mounts.

Position the cabinet against a neutral wall to highlight the dark mahogany tones, using it to display curated ceramics, leather-bound books, or glassware in a dining room, study, or hallway.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth, applying a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight and central heating sources.
