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 furniture, developed during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, is characterized by neoclassical symmetry, dark rich woods such as mahogany, and architectural elements including fluted columns, pilasters, and brass or bronze mounts.

Cabinets from this era were typically built using solid mahogany or fine mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcass wood, accentuating the design with cast or drawn brass fillets, glass door panels, and iron locking mechanisms.

Authentic period pieces display signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as hand-cut dovetail joints, slight irregularities in hand-blown cylinder glass, secondary timber shrinkage on backboards, and natural oxidisation on original brass mountings.

Position the piece against light neutral walls to highlight its dark silhouette and brass details. Balance the traditional aesthetic by mixing modern art, ceramics, and structured book arrangements on the internal shelving.

Maintain the timber finish by applying a thin coat of natural beeswax polish along the grain annually. Avoid harsh chemical sprays on brass mounts, wiping them lightly with a soft microfiber cloth to preserve the natural patina.
