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 19th-century French commode typically features a low, wide profile with multiple drawers, ornate cast metal handles, and curving silhouettes such as serpentine or arbalete fronts. Craftsmanship during this period often drew inspiration from earlier Louis XV and Louis XVI designs, incorporating hand-carved wood motifs and shaped aprons.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilised solid native hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and fruitwood, alongside polished brass or bronze furniture mounts. High-status pieces often featured burr walnut or figurative veneers, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, and carved aprons.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of period construction, including hand-sawn timber back panels, uneven dovetail joints, original iron lock mechanisms, and natural oxidisation on the metal handles. The wear pattern should correspond logically to historic use around keyholes, handles, and drawer runners.

A walnut commode functions well as a focal point in an entryway, living room, or bedroom. Pairing warm timber tones with contemporary artwork, sculptural ceramics, or minimalist lighting creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Keep the wood clean by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain hydration and luster. Avoid placing the item near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, cracking, and fading.
