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.
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.

Originating in the 18th century, drop-leaf tables were developed to offer flexible living in Georgian homes, allowing large dining surfaces to collapse into compact profiles along walls when not in service.

These tables were typically constructed from solid dense mahogany or oak, featuring hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, iron hinges, and hand-turned legs terminating in pad or claw-and-ball feet.

Authentic period pieces exhibit rule joints along the hinged drop leaves, hand-planed underside surfaces, original oak sub-frames, and slender cabriole legs with hand-carved pad feet.

A drop-leaf table functions as a versatile dining table that can be fully extended for entertaining or styled with leaves dropped against a wall as a hall table or console.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent uneven fading or warping of the leaves.
