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

Louis XVI style furniture emerged in the mid-18th century as a neoclassical reaction against Rococo curves. It is defined by straight lines, symmetrical proportions, classical motifs such as fluting, and refined gilt-bronze mounts.

Nineteenth-century French cylinder desks typically feature dense mahogany, rosewood, or kingwood veneers over solid hardwood frames. Fine examples incorporate cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, brass gallery rails, and marble tops or leather-lined writing slides.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display precise cabinet-making techniques, hand-carved dovetail joints, and heavy, detailed brass or ormolu castings. Markers or stamps from prominent cabinetmakers are often located on locks or frame edges.

A French roll-top bureau works well as a focal point in a home office, hallway, or living room space. Pairing the dark mahogany wood and gilded details with neutral walls, modern art, or contemporary seating creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Mahogany surfaces require dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and occasional application of high-grade beeswax to protect the finish. Gilt-bronze mounts should be kept free from harsh chemical polishes, using only a soft dry brush to remove dust from delicate relief work.
