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, a provincial commode is a low chest of drawers crafted outside Paris by regional cabinetmakers, blending utilitarian storage with decorative Louis XV structural elements.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or fruitwood, fitted with cast brass handles, escutcheons, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Authentic 18th-century commodes often feature hand-planed wooden backboards, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original cast brass hardware, and patinated surface wear consistent with age.

An antique commode works as a foundational piece in a hallway or bedroom, juxtaposed with contemporary artwork, clean-lined ceramics, or a modern mirror positioned above the top surface.

Maintain the wood by applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding placement near direct heat sources, and removing dust with a dry, soft cloth.
