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 France during the late seventeenth century, the commode evolved from earlier trunk and chest designs into an ornate storage piece featuring multiple drawers and often a stone or marble top surface.

These pieces were typically crafted using solid timber frames covered with exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or walnut, complemented by cast brass or gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and shaped marble slabs.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, heavy cast-metal mounts attached with original screws, hand-planed back panels, and natural wear or oxidisation on the underside of the marble top.

A marble-topped French commode functions effectively as a focal point in hallways, bedrooms, or living spaces, providing contrast when paired with contemporary artwork and minimalist architectural details.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth, clean marble tops using neutral pH stone cleaners, and apply beeswax paste sparingly to timber surfaces while avoiding harsh chemicals on metal mounts.
