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 serpentine commode is characterised by its undulating, wave-like front profile, a furniture style popularized during the Louis XV era in eighteenth and nineteenth-century France.

These commodes were typically crafted using native European hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and fruitwood, paired with cast brass or bronze handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, hand-planed backboards, and carved apron detailing above cabriole feet.

Position the commode as a focal point in an entryway, bedroom, or living area, pairing its curved silhouette with a large gilded mirror or contemporary artwork above.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax paste annually while avoiding placement near direct heat sources or damp areas.
