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 bombe commode is a chest of drawers characterized by its convex, outward-curving front and sides. Originating during the Rococo and Louis XV periods in the 18th century, these pieces typically feature decorative wood marquetry or parquetry, cast metal mounts, and shaped marble tops.

Traditional construction utilizes a softwood carcase veneered with hardwoods such as kingwood, tulipwood, or walnut in marquetry or parquetry patterns. Ormolu (gilt-bronze) mounts reinforce structural joints and keyholes, while heavy marble slabs are fitted to the top surface.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer lining, cast gilt-bronze mounts with chisel finishing, and original marble tops shaped to follow the curved contours of the timber base.

A bombe commode works well as a focal statement piece in an entryway, dining room, or bedroom. Positioning contemporary artwork or a simple gilded mirror above the piece balances the ornate metalwork and woodwork.

Clean marble surfaces with a pH-neutral damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent staining. Dust timber veneers gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply neutral beeswax periodically while keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
