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 style bombe commode is defined by its outward-curving front and sides, serpentine silhouette, and decorative surface embellishments. Pieces typically incorporate geometric parquetry or floral marquetry veneers, polished marble tops, and cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts across the corners and drawer handles.

Traditional construction utilises solid oak or pine for the internal carcass and drawer frames, topped with decorative timber veneers such as walnut, kingwood, or rosewood arranged in geometric patterns. The top surface is fitted with a sculpted marble slab, alongside handles and corner mounts crafted from cast brass or bronze ormolu.

Authentic period commodes exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, and natural age-related shrinkage on internal timber surfaces. Examining the underside of the marble top for rough hand-chiselling marks and checking the reverse of metal castings for traditional sand-casting textures also helps verify historical construction.

A marble top commode can serve as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living area when set alongside contemporary artwork and minimalist lighting. Balancing the curved lines and decorative woodwork with clean architectural elements creates a refined, juxtaposed interior aesthetic.

Marble surfaces require immediate wiping of liquid spills using a pH-neutral cleaner to prevent staining, alongside avoiding acidic substances. Veneered timber surfaces should be maintained with periodic application of natural beeswax polish and kept away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
