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

The bombe commode emerged in eighteenth-century France, characterised by its outward-curving front and sides, serpentine silhouette, and Rococo design elements.

These pieces commonly feature fine timber veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood over a hardwood frame, finished with a shaped marble slab and cast gilt-bronze ormolu mounts.

Authentic pieces demonstrate hand-cut timber veneers forming marquetry or parquetry patterns, heavy hand-chased bronze mounts secured from behind, and traditional hand-cut dovetail joints.

A pair of commodes can serve as symmetrical bedside chests in a master bedroom or flank a fireplace or doorway in a formal reception room to establish spatial balance.

Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement, dust the mounts using a soft dry brush, and apply beeswax sparingly to protect the wood polish.
