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 18th-century France, the Louis XVI style is characterized by rectilinear forms, neoclassical symmetry, geometric marquetry, and architectural proportions inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

These chests were typically constructed with solid wood frames veneered in fine timber cut-offs such as walnut, kingwood, or tulipwood, complemented by hand-cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) fittings and fitted marble tops.

Key identification factors include hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, unfinished wooden backs, unpolished undersides of original stone slabs, and signs of hand-cast oxidisation on brass or bronze mounts.

A marble-top commode functions as a focal piece in an entryway, bedroom, or living area, pairing well with contemporary monochrome artwork or minimal lighting above the marble surface.

Protect the marble surface from acidic liquids and moisture, dust wood surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply a neutral beeswax polish to the timber veneer annually.
