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

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, keep the item away from direct heat sources, and apply a light coat of natural beeswax annually to preserve the painted finish.

Place the commode against a neutral or wood-panelled wall, pairing it with contemporary artwork or a classic wall mirror above to balance historical form with modern aesthetics.

Authentic period pieces display hand-dovetailed drawer joints, hand-planed back panels, natural wear around the keyholes, and original brass fittings that show slight irregularities from casting.

These pieces were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, often finished with brass escutcheons and drawer pulls, and occasionally painted or veneered.

A serpentine front commode is a cabinet or chest of drawers featuring an undulating front profile that curves outwards in the centre and inwards towards the sides, a form popularized in 18th-century English furniture design.
