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 emerged in the early nineteenth century under Napoleon Bonaparte, characterised by neoclassical symmetry, architectural columns, bold linear silhouettes, and classical motifs derived from Roman and Greek antiquity.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames, hand-dovetailed drawer joinery, and a painted finish. Decorative elements often incorporate hand-painted neoclassical motifs such as guilloche borders, foliage cartouches, and carved capitals.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular hand-sawn secondary timbers on the back and drawer bottoms, and natural wear patterns in the paint layers around handles and edges.

A painted Empire commode serves as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living space when paired with neutral walls, contemporary lighting, and minimalist ceramic accessories to balance historical and modern elements.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and avoid applying water or chemical solvent cleaners to painted surfaces. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to reduce paint flaking and wood movement.
