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

Developed during the reign of Napoleon I, French Empire furniture is characterised by classical symmetry, architectural proportions, and rich woods such as flame mahogany, often accented with brass or bronze mounts.

Craftspeople utilised solid wood frames overlaid with carefully matched flame mahogany veneers to create dramatic grain patterns, supported by hand-dovetailed joinery and traditional mortise and tenon construction.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetails inside drawers, original brass or gilt metal mounts, age-appropriate wear to secondary woods, and distinctive veneer figure techniques across drawer fronts.

Position the piece against a neutral wall to let the warm timber tones stand out, layering open shelves with curated ceramics, art books, and small framed prints alongside traditional literature.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and keep the item away from direct sunlight and severe temperature fluctuations to protect the veneer.
