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 French Empire commode is a low cabinet with drawers, originating in late 18th to early 19th-century France, characterised by classical proportions, symmetrical marquetry, and architectural details.

Traditional French commodes frequently feature solid oak or pine carcases veneered with fine hardwoods such as walnut, tulipwood, or kingwood, topped with natural marble slabs and accented by gilded bronze or brass mounts.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer joints, hand-sawn secondary timber, original marble tops with unpolished undersides, and cast bronze mounts secured with early hand-cut threaded screws.

Position a marble-topped commode as a focal piece in an entryway or living space, balancing its elaborate marquetry with minimalist artwork or a clean-lined modern mirror hung directly above it.

Maintain the wood veneer by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax occasionally, while cleaning the marble surface with pH-neutral stone cleaner to prevent acid etching.
