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 Revival furniture, popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, draws inspiration from Classical French Empire design, featuring strong architectural silhouettes, rich timber veneers, carved drapery motifs, and classical pilasters or columns.

These pieces typically utilise highly figured birch or satin birch veneers laid over solid timber frameworks, featuring brass hardware, metal shelf supports, and carved wooden detailing.

Look for natural flame or satin birch graining, architectural mouldings, carved Neoclassical motifs such as garlands or swags, period-appropriate lock mechanisms, and consistent wear to shelf tracks.

Position the piece against a neutral backdrop to highlight the warm tones of the birch timber, curate the open shelves with structured book arrangements or ceramics, and use the lower cupboards for concealed storage.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to avoid veneer cracking or colour alteration, dust regularly with a clean, dry lint-free cloth, and periodically apply a high-quality beeswax polish.
