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

Originating in 18th-century France, Louis XVI style armoires are characterised by classical symmetry, straight lines, geometric parquetry, and refined neoclassical motifs such as ribbons, floral wreaths, and fluted legs.

Traditional French armoires were constructed using fine hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, book-matched veneer work, bevelled glass mirrors, and cast gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts.

Authentic period pieces display signs of hand-craftsmanship, including hand-planed back panels, original mortise and tenon joinery, mercury-bevelled glass mirror panels, and natural oxidisation on brass or bronze fittings.

Place the armoire as a focal piece in a modern bedroom or dressing room, balancing its intricate woodwork by pairing it with minimalist neutral walls and understated contemporary textiles.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually, while gently dusting the gilt bronze mounts with a dry microfibre brush without using abrasive cleaners.
