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

Empire style furniture originated in the early 19th century under Napoleon Bonaparte, characterised by classical Neoclassical symmetry, dark timber or ebonised finishes, and gilt brass mounts.

Traditional Empire desks feature dark hardwoods such as mahogany or ebonised timber, combined with inset leather writing surfaces and cast brass or ormolu mounts inspired by Greco-Roman motifs.

Authentic pieces typically display hand-carved classical details, heavy solid wood frames, heavy cast metal mounts, and traditional joinery such as hand-cut dovetails on drawer joints.

Position the desk as a focal point in a home office or library, paired with clean-lined seating, neutral walls, and warm task lighting to balance the strong architectural silhouette.

Dust the ebonised frame with a soft dry cloth and polish metal mounts gently, while treating the inset leather top periodically with a dedicated leather conditioner to prevent drying.
