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.
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.

Originating in 18th-century Britain during the reign of King George III, a tray-top commode is a small cabinet featuring a raised, galleried top with cut-out handles, designed originally as a bedside night cupboard with enclosed storage.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid cuban or honduran mahogany, featuring secondary timbers such as pine or oak for interior drawer linings, alongside cast brass handles and hinges.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer bottoms with grain running crosswise, hand-planed back panels, and natural oxidisation on untouched interior wood surfaces.

A tray-top commode functions effectively as a sophisticated bedside table or occasional side cabinet in a living area, serving as a functional counterpoint to minimalist modern upholstered furniture.

Preserve the natural timber patina by dusting regularly with a dry soft cloth, applying a high-quality beeswax paste annually, and placing the object away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
