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

Originating in late 17th-century France, a commode is a wide chest of drawers designed with decorative proportions, featuring contoured fronts, short legs, and ornamental metal fittings.

These commodes are typically crafted from softwoods or hardwoods such as oak and beech, finished with coats of gesso, distressed paintwork, gold leaf gilding, and fitted with cast brass or bronze handles.

Authentic pieces showcase serpentine or bombe curved profiles, slender cabriole legs, asymmetrical Rococo hardware, hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, and natural age-related patina on painted surfaces.

Position the commode in an entryway, bedroom, or living area as a standalone feature, paired with a contemporary mirror or artwork mounted above to contrast classic craft with modern design.

Dust surfaces using a clean, dry, microfibre cloth, keeping the item away from direct heat and dampness. Avoid chemical sprays, waxes, or water, which can dissolve delicate paint layers and gold leaf.
