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.
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.
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.

Originating in 18th-century France, a Louis XV style commode features asymmetrical rococo curves, a bombe silhouette, serpentine fronts, decorative wood veneers, and ornate gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.

These commodes typically combine exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or tulipwood arranged in marquetry or parquetry patterns, topped with a shaped natural marble slab and adorned with cast gilt-bronze mounts.

Authentic features include fine cast and chiselled ormolu mounts tailored to the curved wooden body, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, heavy natural marble tops contoured to match the chest, and maker stamps or inventory marks.

Anchor the piece against a neutral backdrop to highlight the dark wood grain and rich brass mounts, pairing it with minimalist artwork above or modern table lamps to balance historical detail with contemporary style.

Dust the wooden surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and preserve the brass mounts with gentle dry wiping without abrasive polishes; clean the marble top using pH-neutral soap and warm water, avoiding acidic solutions.
