Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Eighteenth-century French commodes from the Louis XVI period are characterised by Neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, geometric proportions, fluted pilasters, and tapered legs, departing from the elaborate curves of the preceding Rococo style.

Cabinetmakers commonly utilized solid native hardwoods such as cherrywood, walnut, or oak for the carcass, accented with cast brass handles and escutcheons, and topped with thick slabs of natural marble.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn timber back panels, hand-dovetailed drawer construction, original steel locks, and evidence of hand-tooling on the underside and drawer linings.

Anchor the piece against a plain wall paired with modern abstract artwork above, minimal contemporary table lamps, or low-profile ceramics to highlight its structural form.

Apply clear beeswax polish periodically to the wood to protect the finish, while cleaning the marble top strictly with pH-neutral stone cleaners to prevent etching from acidic liquids.
