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

A French Louis XV style bombe commode features a distinctive convex-concave curved body, cabriole legs, and elaborate metal mounts. Emerging in the 18th century, these chest of drawers designs prioritize flowing contours, decorative wood veneers, and fitted marble tops.

French commodes typically utilize hardwood frames faced with decorative parquetry or marquetry veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood. They feature cast ormolu (gilt bronze) mounts, drawer handles, and keyhole escutcheons, capped with contoured marble slabs.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed back panels, and heavy cast bronze mounts tailored to the specific curves of the frame. Stamps from master cabinetmakers (ebenistes) may be present on the top rails underneath the marble top.

Positioning a pair of commodes symmetrically as oversized bedside tables or flanking a fireplace creates balance in a bedroom or living room. The warm wood tones and marble surfaces contrast against minimal neutral walls or textured contemporary art.

Clean marble tops with pH-neutral stone cleaner, avoiding acidic substances that etch polished calcium surfaces. Dust wood veneers regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly, ensuring gilt bronze mounts remain free from moisture and abrasive polishes.
