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 Louis XV Provincial commode typically features soft serpentine lines, contoured drawer fronts, and regional craftsmanship using local French timber such as elm, walnut, or oak rather than courtly gilded finishes.

Craftsmen commonly utilised native hardwoods including elm, oak, and walnut, often applying highly figured burr veneers and decorating the facades with cast brass or bronze handles and keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, uneven hand-planed back panels, organic brass fittings with natural oxidisation, and timber displaying genuine age-related patination.

It serves as an anchor piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living area, pairing effectively with contemporary artwork above and minimal modern ceramics to contrast the detailed wood grain and metalwork.

Dust surfaces regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and apply clear beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or metal polish on patinated handles.
