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

Introduced in France during the late 17th century, the commode evolved from traditional storage trunks into a key item of decorative furniture. By the 18th century, particularly during the Louis XV period, French commodes featured curved serpentine forms, elaborate brass fittings, and painted or veneered finishes.

Traditional French commodes were crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or beech. Painted versions often utilised softwoods or local timber coated in gesso and milk paint, finished with cast brass hardware and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-carved drawer fronts, and solid timber backs. Original brass handles often display natural oxidisation, while painted surfaces typically show genuine wear along high-contact edges.

A dark green painted commode serves as a grounding focal point when positioned against neutral or pastel walls. Combine it with contemporary artwork, brass table lamps, or modern ceramics to create a contrast between traditional craftsmanship and current interior design trends.

Maintain the painted finish by dusting regularly with a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excess moisture, and apply a light coat of clear beeswax annually to protect exposed timber and preserve the surface finish.
