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 French commode is a low, wide chest of drawers introduced in late 17th-century France, designed to sit against a wall to provide accessible drawer storage while serving as a decorative surface.

These commodes typically feature fine timber veneers such as walnut, kingwood, or tulipwood laid in geometric parquetry patterns, finished with a heavy, fitted marble slab and cast metal mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed drawer bottoms, original oxidation marks on the unpolished timber undersides, and cast handles affixed with historical period fixings.

Position the commode as an anchor piece in a hallway, dining room, or bedroom, balancing the ornate parquetry and stone top with modern ceramics, simple table lamps, or framed artwork hung above.

Dust timber surfaces with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly; wipe the marble top with a mild pH-neutral damp cloth, avoiding acidic cleaners that etch natural stone.
