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

Louis XV style furniture, originating in 18th-century France, is characterised by Rococo curves, serpentine fronts, intricate floral or geometric marquetry, and decorative cast brass or ormolu mounts.

Traditional French marquetry commodes feature exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, walnut, or rosewood laid over a solid oak or pine carcass, adorned with gilt-bronze or brass handles.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical Rococo cast mounts, hand-cut marquetry or parquetry veneers, solid drawer linings with dovetail joinery, and a distinct sinuous serpentine curve along the front facade.

Position the chest as a focal point in an entryway, bedroom, or living space, paired with a contemporary mirror or artwork above to complement the detailed woodwork.

Maintain the piece by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding direct sunlight or central heating sources, and applying a natural beeswax polish annually to protect the wood veneer.
