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 bombe commode is a low chest of drawers originating in eighteenth-century France, defined by its dramatic outward-curving front and sides inspired by Baroque and Rococo architectural profiles.

These pieces were crafted with solid timber framing, finished in figured wood veneers such as walnut or kingwood, inlaid with parquetry or marquetry patterns, and fitted with cast brass or ormolu mounts.

Authentic period commodes exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on secondary drawer woods, hand-sawn backboards showing slight irregularities, genuine wear around keyhole escutcheons, and chased cast brass hardware.

A bombe commode serves as a striking focal point in a hallway or bedroom, where its dramatic curves contrast effectively against minimalist contemporary architecture and clean-lined decorative artwork.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft dry microfiber cloth, apply high-grade beeswax sparingly once per year along the grain, keep the wood away from direct heat sources, and avoid harsh chemicals on brass mounts.
