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

Dutch Neoclassical commodes typically feature geometric marquetry, refined veneers such as burr elm or walnut, fluted pilasters, and often incorporate fitted marble tops influenced by French Louis XVI cabinetmaking.

Cabinetmakers primarily constructed solid oak internal frames overlaid with figured wood veneers, accented by cast brass drawer handles and heavy polished marble slabs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-planed secondary timbers, hand-cast brass hardware, and natural hand-cut marble undersides showing historic tool marks.

Position the piece in an entryway or dining room as a central feature, pairing the warm timber tones with contemporary artwork hung above and simple ceramic vessels on the marble surface.

Maintain consistent humidity to prevent veneer movement, apply high-grade beeswax periodically to the wood, and clean the marble surface using only non-acidic, pH-neutral solutions.
