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.

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 serpentine commode is a low storage chest featuring a subtle wave-like, curved front profile, which originated in 18th-century France during the Louis XV era to provide functional storage for prominent residences.

These pieces were typically crafted from regional timbers such as walnut, oak, or fruitwood, constructed with hand-cut dovetail joints, carved panel drawer fronts, and cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period examples display evidence of hand-planed woodwork, irregular dovetails inside drawers, natural timber shrinkage over time, original lock casing, and aged oxidisation on brass hardware.

A walnut commode functions effectively as a focal point in an entrance hallway, bedroom, or living area, complemented by contemporary artwork, subtle lighting, or a large wall-mounted mirror above.

Position the piece away from direct radiator heat and damp environment changes. Apply a light coating of clear beeswax occasionally with a soft cotton cloth to preserve the timber and protect its surface finish.
