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

In the mid-19th century, Swedish work tables were predominantly used by women in domestic settings to store needlework, thread, and small craft implements. They served both functional storage needs and as occasional tables in sitting rooms.

These pieces were typically constructed using native Scandinavian hardwoods such as birch, frequently featuring figured burr birch veneers set over pine framing, paired with brass keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural grain variations inherent to burr wood, hand-cut dovetail joints on internal drawer linings, period brass hardware, and authentic oxidation on unfinished interior timber surfaces.

A compact work table can be placed beside a sofa or accent chair to function as a side table, or set within an entry hall or alcove to hold small lamps and decorative objects.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to preserve the timber finish, keeping the table away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to prevent veneer lift.
