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

Emerging during the reign of Napoleon I in the early 19th century, French Empire furniture is characterised by monumental neoclassical proportions, dark timbers such as mahogany, polished marble tops, and brass or bronze mounts.

These pieces typically feature flame mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcases, topped with heavy dark marble slabs and fitted with cast brass or gilt-bronze mounts and handles.

Authentic examples feature heavy architectural lines, hand-cut dovetail joints, thick solid marble tops with hand-chiselled undersides, cast brass hardware depicting classical motifs, and carved claw or pillar feet.

Anchor the commode as a statement piece in an entryway or living room, balancing its dark timber and visual weight with understated modern artwork, subtle lighting, or neutral wall tones.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax along the grain, while cleaning the marble top with a pH-neutral cleaner to prevent staining or etching.
