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

The Empire style originated in early nineteenth-century France under Napoleon Bonaparte, drawing heavy inspiration from ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian architecture. Key characteristics include symmetrical Neoclassical silhouettes, dark primary timbers like mahogany, and decorative gilt-bronze or brass mounts depicting classical motifs.

Frames were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcass wood. Decorative elements relied on cast brass or chasing ormolu mounts, while upholstery traditionally used natural horsehair padding covered in velvet, damask, or silk fabrics.

Authentic period pieces display traditional hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, cast metal mounts secured with period-appropriate screws, and original hand-carved details. Inspecting the underside often reveals hand-sawn timber framing and historical wear consistent with age.

A Neoclassical settee serves as a statement piece when paired with neutral wall colours, contemporary art, or minimalist surrounding furniture. Position it in a formal reception area, hallway, or at the foot of a bed to contrast historic detailing with clean modern lines.

Dust timber frames regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a microcrystalline wax polish periodically to preserve the finish. Vacuum velvet upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, and clean metal mounts using a dry cloth without abrasive chemical cleaners.
