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

Swedish commodes from this period typically feature restrained Neoclassical architectural proportions, pale muted paint finishes, fluted or reeded carved detailing, and tapered legs inspired by French Louis XVI designs.

These storage pieces were commonly built using native European softwoods such as pine, finished with layers of gesso and mineral-based pale paints, complemented by cast brass handles and slate or wooden tops.

Authentic pieces feature signs of natural hand-carving, dovetail joints, hand-planed rear panels, and layered wear to the painted surface, particularly around knobs, handles, and lower trim.

Place the item against a neutral wall to act as a focal point, pairing it with clean-lined contemporary artwork or a carved wooden mirror above to balance historical detail with modern simplicity.

Clean gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without water, waxes, or chemical solutions, which can strip delicate original paint and patina layers.
