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, Louis XV commodes are distinguished by their curvilinear shapes, serpentine fronts, and bombe silhouettes. They commonly incorporate fine timber veneers, geometric parquetry or floral marquetry, gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, and fitted marble tops.

These commodes typically feature an oak or pine carcase faced with exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood. They are finished with hand-cast gilt bronze handles, escutcheons, and sabots, topped with a thick slab of cut and polished marble.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn carcass timbers, hand-cut dovetail joints, oak drawer linings, and hand-chased bronze mounts secured with original screws or pins. The marble tops usually display hand-chiseled undersides and natural edge wear consistent with age.

A French commode functions as a focal piece in a formal hallway, dining space, or bedroom. Pairing the rich timber and detailed bronze mounts against neutral painted walls creates contrast while maintaining architectural balance.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting. Clean marble tops with pH-neutral solutions to avoid acid etching, and clean gilt bronze using dry soft brushes without abrasive chemical cleaners.
