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 commode chest originated as a functional piece of storage furniture in the 18th and 19th centuries, often designed with drawers or converted from earlier commode cabinets for general household organisation.

Traditional commodes were constructed using native hardwoods such as elm, oak, or walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, solid backboards, and cast brass handles or ring pulls.

Authentic pieces exhibit prominent grain patterns characteristic of elm, signs of historic timber shrinkage, hand-planed surfaces, and original joinery features such as irregular dovetails and hand-carved bracket feet.

An elm commode functions effectively as a nightstand, hall cabinet, or occasional side table, introducing natural timber texture alongside modern minimalist or traditional decor.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and high humidity to minimise timber movement. Apply natural beeswax polish bi-annually and dust regularly using a soft cloth.
