Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

A late 18th-century Louis XVI commode is defined by Neoclassical symmetry, featuring rectilinear forms, geometric marquetry, square tapered legs, brass mounts, and fitted marble tops.

These pieces typically feature timber frames veneered with walnut, fruitwood, or mahogany, capped with native or imported marble tops, and fitted with cast brass or bronze drawer pulls.

Authentic period commodes display hand-sawn timber drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct iron lock mechanisms, and subtle age-related wear to the original marble top.

Position the commode in an entry hall or living room as an architectural anchor, pairing its dark timber and stone top with contemporary ceramics, simple lighting, or artwork.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly, while cleaning the marble top using only pH-neutral stone cleaners to avoid surface etching.
