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 bombe commode is defined by its outward-curving front and side profiles, a sculptural furniture form that originated in 18th-century France during the Louis XV period.

Traditional construction incorporates hardwood frameworks clad in fine wood veneers such as kingwood or rosewood, topped with shaped marble slabs and decorated with cast bronze ormolu mounts.

Period pieces display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-chiselled bronze mounts with natural surface oxidation, and hand-sawn markings on unexposed drawer casings and back panels.

Positioning a highly figured commode against a neutral or dark backdrop creates a central focal point, contrasting classic wood figuring against contemporary lines.

Marble surfaces require cleaning with pH-neutral solutions, while the timber veneers benefit from stable humidity levels and periodic application of beeswax to protect the surface.
