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, popular in the early nineteenth century, features classical neoclassical forms, symmetrical lines, rich mahogany veneers, and ornamental gilt metal or bronze mounts inspired by classical motifs.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid mahogany along with fine flame mahogany veneers, complemented by cast gilt-metal or brass mounts and traditional dovetail joint construction.

Authentic pieces showcase hand-cut dovetail joints, original iron or brass lock mechanisms, rich natural wood grain patina, heavy timber construction, and light surface wear on the gilt metalwork.

Position this substantial storage piece against a neutral wall in a living room, hallway, or bedroom to create a grounded focal point, allowing its classical proportions to anchor contemporary decor.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, polish the mahogany with natural beeswax along the wood grain, and avoid abrasive chemical cleaners on the gilt metal mounts to preserve the historic finish.
