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.

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 Continental commode chest is a low, wide piece of storage furniture featuring multiple drawers, originating in eighteenth-century mainland Europe.

These pieces were typically constructed using solid hardwoods or native softwoods veneered with rich timber like walnut, accented with cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period commodes often feature hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular hand-planed timber panels, and natural wear around original drawer runners and keyholes.

Position the commode as a focal point in a hallway or living space, pairing its rich wood tones with contemporary artwork, a mirror, or modern lighting.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
