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

Originating in the early 18th century, a games table was designed specifically for parlour games such as cards or chess, featuring a fold-over top that expands the surface area when in use.

These pieces were typically crafted using dense Cuban mahogany or walnut, featuring secondary woods like oak or pine for drawer linings, along with cast brass hardware.

Authentic tables from this era display hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed undersides, pad feet, cabriole legs often decorated with carved shell motifs, and natural patination around high-touch areas.

When folded, the table functions as a compact console table in a hallway or drawing room, suited for displaying decorative ceramics, lamps, or small artworks.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year.
