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

French commodes traditionally feature a low, robust body with multiple drawers, distinguished by decorative wood veneers such as burr walnut, often paired with elaborate brass mounts.

These pieces are typically constructed using a supportive secondary timber framework overlaid with highly figured burr walnut veneers, complemented by cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetail joinery, traditional hand-applied finishes, natural ageing of the wood grain, and period-appropriate hardware fixed with hand-made screws.

Pairing the rich, figured wood grain with minimalist contemporary decor, neutral wall colours, and modern lighting creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and current design.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the surface.
