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

A bombe commode is distinguished by its outward-swelling convex front and sides, a design signature popularised during the 18th-century Rococo period in Italy and France.

These pieces were typically constructed using solid timber carcasses overlaid with decorative figured veneers such as burr walnut or kingwood, finished with cast bronze or brass ormolu mounts.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn timber backing, natural surface oxidisation, and cast mounts fitted precisely to the curved profiles.

A bombe commode functions well as a focal point in an entryway or living room, contrasted against minimal contemporary artwork or sleek modern lighting.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax paste annually, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
