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

Emerging in 18th-century France, the Louis XV commode is characterised by curved outlines, serpentine fronts, decorative wood carvings, and ornate cast brass handles, often finished with a marble top.

Cabinetmakers favoured dense hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and kingwood, featuring hand-carved panels, cast brass handles, and thick marble tops sourced from European quarries.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn drawer construction, irregular timber backing panels secured with hand-forged nails, age-related oxidation, and original cast metal fittings with hand-chased details.

Pair the warm timber tones and grey marble top with minimalist contemporary artwork, clean-lined lighting, or neutral textiles to create a balanced scheme in modern hallway or living spaces.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax sparingly to walnut surfaces to maintain lustre, and clean marble with a pH-neutral product to prevent chemical etching.
