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 typically features monumental proportions, architectural symmetry, and clean geometric lines influenced by classical Greek and Roman design. Crafted during the early nineteenth century, pieces often showcase high-grade walnut, mahogany, or fruitwood, accented by classical columns, pilasters, and refined moulding.

Cabinetmakers during this period predominantly used indigenous hardwoods such as solid walnut, oak, and cherry. Drawers and back panels were frequently framed in secondary woods like pine, assembled using hand-cut dovetail joints and mortise and tenon joinery.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-hewn construction marks, including uneven saw marks on rear panels, hand-cut dovetails, and period-correct iron or brass hardware. The timber naturally displays surface patination, shrinkage cracks near panel joints, and colour variation from centuries of exposure to air and light.

A large wooden dresser functions as a focal architectural piece in modern dining rooms, kitchens, or open-plan living spaces. Designers balance the heavy timber proportions by styling the shelves with contemporary ceramics, minimalist glassware, or monochrome artwork.

Preserve the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent cracking or warping.
