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 Louis XV style commode is characterized by curved bombe or serpentine forms, cabriole legs, elaborate wood veneers such as parquetry or marquetry, decorative gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, and shaped marble tops.

Cabinetmakers utilized native and imported hardwoods including oak for framing, faced with fine veneers of kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood. Mounts were cast in gilt bronze (ormolu), and tops were fitted with thick, contoured slabs of imported marble.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn carcass construction, hand-cut dovetail joints, heavy cast bronze mounts with chased detailing, and original unpolished undersides on the marble tops, occasionally accompanied by maker stamps.

Pairing French commodes allows for symmetrical positioning on either side of a doorway, fireplace, or grand hallway, serving as foundational focal points while pairing well with contemporary artwork above.

Dust wood veneers regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically; clean marble surfaces with pH-neutral stone cleaner to prevent acid etching, and avoid abrasive metal polishes on gilt-bronze mounts.
