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, is characterised by classical symmetry, ebonised or dark wood finishes, marble tops, and gilded metal mounts inspired by Greco-Roman and Egyptian motifs.

Traditional construction features solid timber or veneer frames, ebonised or mahogany finishes, natural marble slabs for the surface, and cast brass or bronze gilt mounts.

Authentic and quality revival pieces feature hand-fitted joinery, heavy polished stone tops, fine chasing on gilded metal hardware, and strict Neoclassical proportions.

Position the pair symmetrically on either side of a bed frame, contrasting the dark ebonised finish and gilt detailing against neutral walls and crisp modern textiles.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, clean marble tops using stone-safe pH-neutral cleaners, and clear gilt hardware gently without harsh abrasive polishes.
