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

Originating in France during the 18th century under the Louis XV and Regency periods, the term bombe describes furniture with outward-swelling, convex sides and fronts. This rococo design accentuates fluidity and movement, contrasting with the straight architectural lines of earlier eras.

Primary timber typically includes solid or veneered walnut, favoured for its rich grain patterns and warm colour. Structural interiors often utilise oak or pine, accompanied by cast brass or bronze handles, escutcheons, and mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, uneven saw marks on rear panels, and natural wood oxidation inside drawer cavities. Original cast brass hardware shows minor irregularities and age-consistent wear rather than uniform modern machine finishing.

A carved wood commode serves as a dramatic accent piece when set against neutral minimalist walls in an entryway, hallway, or bedroom. Pairing historic case goods with contemporary artwork or modern table lamps creates an appealing transitional aesthetic.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the timber grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, movement, or finish bleaching.
