What are the main styles within 19th century antiques?

The century encompasses several distinct periods: Empire (1804–1815), Restoration (1815–1830), Charles X (1820s–1830s), Louis-Philippe (1830–1848) and Napoleon III (1852–1870). Each has its own aesthetic, materials and characteristic forms, from austere mahogany to richly inlaid rosewood and ebonised wood.

How can I tell if a 19th century piece is authentic?

Look for period-appropriate construction: hand-cut dovetails, solid or quality veneer over oak, original hardware and fire-gilded bronze mounts. A maker's stamp or retailer's label on the interior adds confidence. Buying from a professional antique dealer who provides a detailed description and provenance is the safest approach.

What is the price range for 19th century antique furniture?

Prices range from a few hundred pounds for smaller decorative pieces or prints to tens of thousands for signed, documented or exceptional furniture. A good Empire commode or Napoleon III marquetry cabinet typically falls between £1,500 and £8,000 depending on condition, maker and provenance.

How should I care for 19th century furniture?

Keep pieces away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting. Dust regularly with a soft cloth and feed the wood annually with a quality beeswax or furniture wax. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on bronze mounts; a dry soft brush is usually sufficient for gilt surfaces.

Can 19th century antiques be shipped internationally?

Yes. Most professional dealers on Antiquités en France have experience shipping furniture and objects internationally. They can arrange specialist art transport, appropriate crating and insurance. Always confirm shipping costs and methods with the dealer before purchase, especially for large or fragile pieces.
